I have a screenshot below of where my downloads seem to be stuck:
As with this picture taxati.deb has been stuck at 55 seconds remaining and 220 KB/sec for a few hours
This happens with most of my downloads and I'm honestly getting frustrated due to the lack of downloads on my Ubuntu.
After checking my internet using the simple
ping google.com
command on my terminal, I learnt that I was experiencing about 3% data packet loss. I would suggest using the Firefox plugin 'Downthemall' or equivalent for Chrome. This way you can pause and restart your downloads when they stop receiving packets.Thanks to all the help on the comments!
