apt-get upgrade is slow

I am facing apt-get upgrade is very slow...

Is the kali server is facing any issues or is the problem with my net connection.

speedtest.net shows correct uploading and downloading speed. But the apt-get upgrade is downlaoding packiges in bytes/s speed!.. very strange

Kindly guide.

I would hesitate to guess that Kali servers are having trouble. What behavior are you seeing? Is there a particular package that is giving you trouble? What mirrors are you using? Are you wired or wireless?

You could try to use an other mirror. Just edit your sources.list file with a mirror you would like to use. You can find the mirror site at:

Does this mean that I will be using the bleeding edge packages instead of the regular/stable ones? I would prefer to use the regular packages.
