I've just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my desktop recently. I have high speed internet, before the installation, the normal download rate is around 100K/s. With Ubuntu installed, when I run package manager or update manager, the download is around 5K/s-10K/s, dropped to 1K/s or even 0 very often, rarely up to 20K/s. However, when I just download a data file the rate is normal.

Currently, the update manager is running at the download rate of around 1K/s. It's been around for about 5 hours.

Any idea? The installer I used is tasksel The router is D-Link DI-624

The download rate on other computers (XP) is still normal.

Thank you very much
