Summary	0005556: kali repos are slow
Description	Using HTTPS repos, speed seems limited to no more than 250 KB/s, both downloading indexes and packages. My connection speed is much higher, so that is not the problem. I have not tried using normal HTTP version.

g0tmi1k 2019-06-22 17:16 administrator ~0010722	Is it possible to get the full output of `apt update`? Need to see which mirror you are finding slow.

g0tmi1k 2019-07-05 18:42 administrator ~0010764	We are not able to get the same speeds you are. What country are you from?

g0tmi1k 2019-07-05 18:45 administrator ~0010765	If you are still facing slow speeds, you can switch to cloudflare Copy/paste the following into a terminal window `cat <<EOF \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://kali.download/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free deb-src http://kali.download/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free EOF apt update`
