Update Manager Firefox update really sloow

Post by Taren »

update manger usually downloads apps and updates at about 3000+ kbs except for any Firefox update where the speed drops to 100-. the repositories are on the same server.. My last FF update took over an hour.

Distro: LMDE 6 Faye
Kernel: 6.1.0-17-amd64 arch: x86_64 bits

Mine was done earlier within seconds (as usual).
Maybe you could try to change the mirrors in the update manager?

Cf. e.g this recent thread: Why Firefox takes years to download !?

Mother of all threads about a recurring issue, whenever a new Firefox release has become available: Slow download speed of Firefox browser updates, started in Jan. 2022.
