kali apt-update slow internet connection

IF you are also struggling with following symptoms, please keep reading.

• Slow apt-get update on kali
• Slow apt-get upgrade on kali rolling repo
• The repository 'http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling Release' does not have a Release file.
• Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
• Slow internet connection on kali

you need to install the apt-get https package to enable faster speeds for apt-get

once installed edit /etc/apt/sources.list file to

deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

Try the apt-get update after this speed should go in mega bytes.

Also I found synaptic package manager to fix all my repository issues.

#apt-get install synaptic // will install the package manager, also has provision for fixing broken packages, it fixed a lot of issues my repos.

If you are facing issues with release file not available or repository is not secured and its dangerous to install from unsecured registries. you can simply add the key using the below command.

wget -q -O - archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add
