How to Speed up Slow "apt update" on Kali Linux

For the past month, I was getting very slow downloading speed when I was trying to update my Linux, so slow that I literally wasn't able to update my pc. First I thought that the problem was with my internet but soon I realized, that wasn't the case. So I figured the problem must be with the servers. So I started searching for the alternate repositories. After applying the alternate repositories, my downloads were significantly higher.
linux update

Change the dependencies

  • First, you need to open the terminal and run this command.

 sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list

  •  If you don't have Leafpad installed use some other text editor.
  • Now in the sources.list file change the "http" with "repo" 
deb http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

  •  save the file and run sudo apt update.

If you are also having the same problem, this solution will fix it.
Thanks for reading this article. I will see you soon.
