Hi there

I am comenting here because I have a similar problem on a fresh install of 
13.04 64 bits.
When downloading games like Bastion or Legend of Grimrock, it takes ages. The 
rate is something like 20kb/sec. For a game that weighs about 1.1gb, it is just 
not acceptable.

Using the same connection, and even downoading at the same time, I can
download games at 3mb/sec in Steam for example. Same from the browser.

I have tried the default server, and also tried the one that was
proposed when I did the search for best server in software sources.

Title:
  "Ubuntu Software Center"  extremely slow...

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Just did a fresh install to checkout Ubuntu 9.10 on a clean drive
  (have removable HDD). Software Center is unacceptably slow on download
  and install. Attempted to "install" flashplayer via Software Center
  but cancelled it after allowing to run for over 10 minutes with only
  20% progress. Attempted to use Software Center to "install" Seamonkey
  Mail Composer and after 12 minutes it's only at 27% progress... I'm
  hardwired at 100 Mb/s over Cable and can go to the source, download
  and Install in less than 3 minutes total elapsed time. Have not had
  this issue using "Add Applications" under 9.04 Jaunty.
