Ubuntu – faster way to download Ubuntu

It seems like apparmor is blocking Chromium to save files to non standard directories. I expected adjusting the /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/user-download file would do the trick, but it only fixed the same issue I had with Firefox. In Chromium I'm still getting the same interrupted downloads when saving to external media.

I added owner /media/** rwl, to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/user-download.

There seem to be issues with the current Chromium build related to this, causing the error when saving to NTFS / FAT file systems as these don't support chmod. Link to issue on Chromium codebase

I just tested with a daily stable build from their ppa but this doesn't help.. Version is 16.0.912.75 (Developer Build 116452 Linux) Ubuntu 11.10

From the speedtest-cli repository:

There is the potential for this tool to report results inconsistent with Speedtest.net. There are several concepts to be aware of that factor into the potential inconsistency:

    1. Speedtest.net has migrated to using pure socket tests instead of HTTP based tests
    2. This application is written in Python
    3. Different versions of Python will execute certain parts of the code faster than others
    4. CPU and Memory capacity and speed will play a large part in inconsistency between Speedtest.net and even other machines on the same network

Issues relating to inconsistencies will be closed as wontfix and without additional reason or context.

So this is a known problem.

Answers to a similar question at SuperUser seem to indicate that more recent versions (i.e. clone the Git repo and buid from there) are better but not yet perfect.
