[SOLVED] Apt upgrade on WSL is super slow / unusable

Issue

I was trying to setup a build environment on WSL. After starting it up and running sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y It started doing its thing. But then got super slow (20kb/s) So i deleted the whole WSL and redownloaded it... Same issue. I tried disabling IPV6 in my sysctl that also didnt work.

Any ideas?

Solution

Check the local closet mirror for you from here and update sources.list file

sudo sed -i "s/archive.ubuntu.com/us.archive.ubuntu.com/" /etc/apt/sources.list
