Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 1.16
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade

Dear Maintainer,

For the last few weeks, apt has been extremely slow on my machine,
downloading packages at about 70 kbps give or take, and making the
installation of larger software packages very painful.

This is caused by a line in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades:

=============================================================================
// Use apt bandwidth limit feature, this example limits the download
// speed to 70kb/sec
Acquire::http::Dl-Limit "70";
=============================================================================

Commenting out this line restores apt's speeds.

I understand the utility of limiting download speeds for unattended-upgrades,
but I would not have expected this configuration to be applied to all usage
of apt (including outside of unattended-upgrades) by default.

Thank you for your consideration.
