I've found updates on Edgy to be slow even using gb.archive.ubuntu.com. If you're having the same problem try substituting all references to
http://(gb.)archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in /etc/apt/sources.list with http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ It's a UK mirror so it's nice and fast (also run by my university hence the pimpage :-p) This should work for all versions of Ubuntu and not just Edgy. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
