i use default fs, ext4,
it is fresh install

i am in china, asia
but this should not be problem
i used to use http.us.debian.org
it is quick during some part of day

to install new distro, i have to find disk space
back up files, it isnot easy to create a new partition

i am afraid during "apt-get update"
it finds copy of Packages and Translations
that have been downloaded before
and it check and use it instead of download
that is why update is quickl
