Wi-fi internet speed for terminal is slow, internet speed on web browser is fast
I just installed a fresh install of 32-bit 12.04 LTS Pangolin today. When I tried to install a few applications, it was really slow. But when I download a .deb or .tar.gz file from on my web browser, it is a lot faster.
Computer specs:
HP Pavilion Slimline s7700n PC
[Memory] 873.7 MiB
[Processor] AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Provessor 3800+ x 2
[Graphics] GeForce 6105 LE/integrated/SSE2/3DNOW!
[Disk Size] 638.5 GB
I normally get 200-400 kbps.
This is the comparison.

Probably the download mirror you're using is slow. Try this:
- Open Software Center > Edit > Software Sources
- Under "Ubuntu Software" tab click on others in "Download from" menu
- In next dialog box click on "Select Best Server".
- It will search for best server for you, Once done click on "Choose Server" That's it!
