Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Just did a fresh install to checkout Ubuntu 9.10 on a clean drive (have removable HDD). Software Center is unacceptably slow on download and install. Attempted to "install" flashplayer via Software Center but cancelled it after allowing to run for over 10 minutes with only 20% progress. Attempted to use Software Center to "install" Seamonkey Mail Composer and after 12 minutes it's only at 27% progress... I'm hardwired at 100 Mb/s over Cable and can go to the source, download and Install in less than 3 minutes total elapsed time. Have not had this issue using "Add Applications" under 9.04 Jaunty.

Hello,
Can you please go to System > Administration > Software Sources > Download From:
Click "Select best server". A series of pings will be initiated and a new server will be chosen. Try using the software center after that. Please keep us updated.
