slow update and upgrade

[ross46]

hey guys im new to kali, i installed it about two weeks ago,
i had changed sources.list from
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

to
deb http://archive-3.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive-3.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free.

everything was working fine until 2nd feb when my key expired, my updates are slow, i updated the key but its very slow,
i changed the sources.list back to
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

the download speed is in bytes per second, rarely it reaches 25 kbps,

any fix for the same.

i have installed from the 2017.2 amd official download .

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 7D8D0BF6
after key update i got this:

gpg: key ED444FF07D8D0BF6: 130 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: key ED444FF07D8D0BF6: "Kali Linux Repository <[email protected]>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1

please help me out

This will generate a new set of keys, when I did this it fixed the issue i had which was like what you got going on.

There are other suggestions but this one is simple and works.

No. I'm also forbidden to access the page when I visit it from browser. Looks like it is under maintenance.

ross what does your sources.list show. Find it in
/etc/apt/sources.list look like. Open to edit with gedit or your text editor. I just edit it with the sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list. If you do it that way then close it with Ctrl C then finish with y to save.

I only got one in my sources.list

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib not to freak you I already removed the top two for the cd

Then try it all over again. I'm teling ya it needs to regenerate the keys. If not then yes u may have a bad install. But mine was the same issue and it never would generate anything until I put that link into the sources.list.
