This happens on some of my Ubuntu servers but not all. I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu server 12.04 and when began to install updates, my 600kb/sec download speed is suddenly cut to 3kb/sec after several seconds.

This happens irregardless of whether I use a bandwidth-limiting client like wondershaper.

I believe that this is an Ubuntu problem, as none of my other servers are experiencing this, including servers running other distros.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

But the speed is constant (and high) with other tests? Try: wget -O /dev/null http://speedtest.newark.linode.com/100MB-newark.bin

If it's just the repos that are slow, change to a different mirror. Here is a particularly elegant solution for automatically picking the best mirror on a server: How can I get apt to use a mirror close to me, or choose a faster mirror?
