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. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/467501 Title: "Ubuntu Software Center" extremely slow...
