Hey, I've been trying to update my backports today via ubuntu-bp.sourceforge.net and it's been extremely slow today. [ 0.5kb's/sec ]

Anyone knowing what's going on ? I'm just wondering.

[I haven't had any problems with my connection today for other sites]

CTRL+C and restart the download multiple times. The Sourceforge servers can be flaky. Not my fault.

I actually just tried again, this time through the terminal, worked perfectly - no problems :)

thanks for the prompt response, keyshawn
