My Streamyx Took >3 Hours To Download 21.6MB-Files

I was using my beloved Streamyx to get an update on my beloved Ubuntu laptop. To my surprise, the download rate is damn slow and unacceptable,

    Ceh, banyak lah ko punya masta. Untuk personal desktop/workstation, aku dah lama prefer Ubuntu pasal senang nak guna, hehehe. Debian pun ok, tapi agak menguji tahap kesabaran.
