Title: update-manager times out checking for updates Status in Launchpad itself: In Progress Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've bought a number of humble bundle games that were activated through the software centre, so I have quite a lot of sources in apt. The server that they come from is so terribly slow to fetch from that it causes the update manager to time out when checking for updates. See the attached file for the timestamped output from apt-get update, and you'll see that while it's generally slow (multiple seconds between requests once the normal speed ones are dealt with) there is one that takes about 12 minutes to respond at all (13:21:48 to 13:34:12) This means that I can't update through the ubuntu update manager, nor does it tell me when updates are available. My internet is quite good, the first lot of sources complete in ~10 seconds, the problem seems to be at the private-ppa.launchpad.net server end. However, this wouldn't be such an issue if the update manager didn't time out (but really the solution is to fix the apt servers.)
