Re: [orca-list] OT, slow IP connection

If it is going really slow downloading, then doing ctrl+c will kill the 
downloads, then you can try the suggestions, and when you start the 
update again it will continue where it left off.
Do not kill it if it is unpacking and replacing packages though.

Forgot to mension that you need to do:
sudo apt-get update
after you modify your sources.list.
