Hi Harish, One more hack you can do is by following the thread : http://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror. So what I want to convey you is try changing the mirror. And lets see how that will help you. Note: Please take a backup of your orignal sources.list file. Try this only if you are *not* having trouble with downloading the gz files mentioned by Shantanu.
