Apt-get take long time to update\upgrade
- by ShockwaveNN
On my work network any apt-get (or aptitude) commands take a very long time, it's look's like admins blocked some port for it (for unknown reason).
For example
sudo apt-get update
take like 2 days and all I get - a very long list of responses like
Get: 36 http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security/universe amd64 Packages [11.6 kB]
Get: 37 http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security/universe amd64 Packages [11.6 kB]
Get: 38 http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security/universe amd64 Packages [11.6 kB]
Get: 39 http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security/universe amd64 Packages [11.6 kB]
Get: 40 http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security/universe amd64 Packages [11.6 kB]
Same situation then I try to download software

Get:5 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main dash i386 0.5.7-2ubuntu2 [85.8 kB]
Is there something I can do to change port for apt-get or something else
