Very poor apt source speeds
Hello all,
For over a month, I'm seeing extremely poor apt-get download speeds, I'd
be *very* lucky to get 5kb/s and occasionally 25kb/s if it connects at
all, and I've tried several sources including:
mirror.ox.ac.uk
debian.blueyonder.co.uk
debian.hands.com
ftp.uk.debian.org
www.mirrorservice.org
some doesn't work nearly all the time, while a few works sometimes but
with very low speeds and drops out halfway, I have to restart apt-get
several times to get it. I can download files from anywhere else at a
reasonable speed.

I've got a 2mb/s ADSL link, so this should be around 200kb/s! I test
downloaded the latest kernel from kernel.org:

average speed is 180 KB/s so why am I getting very poor apt-get speeds?
Or is it limited now?
Thanks very much for your help in advance.
