Public bug reported:
I've bought a number of humble bundle games that were activated through
the software centre, so I have quite a lot of sources in apt. The server
that they come from is so terribly slow to fetch from that it causes the
update manager to time out when checking for updates.
See the attached file for the timestamped output from apt-get update,
and you'll see that while it's generally slow (multiple seconds between
requests once the normal speed ones are dealt with) there is one that
takes about 12 minutes to respond at all (13:21:48 to 13:34:12)
This means that I can't update through the ubuntu update manager, nor
does it tell me when updates are available.
My internet is quite good, the first lot of sources complete in ~10
seconds, the problem seems to be at the private-ppa.launchpad.net server
end. However, this wouldn't be such an issue if the update manager
didn't time out (but really the solution is to fix the apt servers.)
