Thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This
sounds more like the spanish server is overloaded (as may happen with
the main server as well). This may happen during major releases, and it
is usually outside our control (a mirror is, most of the times, a
voluntary service).
I can't agree. In my case I usually download from the spanish repository
at ~700kB/s which is my maximum bandwidth.
Anyways you may bypass this issue by:
1a. right-clicking (for me, being left-handed, it would be left-clicking ;-) on
the Update Manager Icon on the notification area and selecting "Preferences", or
1b. running Synaptic (the package Manager), and selecting
"Settings/Repositories"
2. on the "Download from", click on the down arrow, and select "Other"
3. instead of selecting a specific server, click on "Select Best Server".
The program will now perform a quick test to find the server with the
best response time, and will set the repositories to use it,
highlighting the selected server.
4. Now click on "Choose Server", and then click on "Close".
5. You will receive a pop-up stating the repositories have changed, and that
you should reload them. Do it.
6. Now try to apply the updates. It should be better now.
Although a bit on the painful side, this should be done whenever you
find a slow mirror: you will get the updates faster, and you will also
help distribute the load.
I am closing this bug invalid. Please feel free to reopen if you do not
agree with my position.
