A way to increase update speed manager downloading speeds

Speed problems sometimes are brought about by the location of the server you are connecting to your country. It determines the upload/download speed, therefore I would advise you change your Ubuntu location server to the nearest one, in this case the country you are in. To do this follow these steps:

1. Open Update Manager > Click on Settings.
2. After opening choose Ubuntu Software tab to change the server settings.
3. Down right is a step that says, Download from: It has various server locations > Choose your location.
4. Click on close to complete the change of settings.

Here is a screen shot of the settings window.
