Answer 1

Recently raspbian.raspberrypi.org has become slow and unreliable. This affects many people, but not all. In my case it often took several tries and hours to update.

I solved this by replacing raspbian.raspberrypi.org in /etc/apt/sources.list with a local mirror;
in my case

deb http://raspbian.melbourneitmirror.net/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi

although you should select a local mirror from https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors/

This also works with Stretch which is also slow since the release of Buster (although using the original /etc/apt/sources.list for Stretch).

PS Do not change /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list which appears to be necessary for kernel/firmware updates.

I was having the same issue. I noticed that it resolved to an IPv6 address vs an IPv4 address. I have IPv6 blocked on my firewall. I disabled IPv6 temporarily and everything worked just fine.

By the way here's the command to do that.

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

You try to update your Raspbian Stretch operating system. If being a newbie I strongly suggest to use up to date Raspbian Buster.

Then you try to update the operating system without an internet connection. You must have it before doing updates, upgrades and installations. The simplest is to connect the RasPi with an ethernet cable to your internet router. This works mostly out of the box without any additional configuration. Otherwise you can look at Wireless connectivity.

And no, you should not use vpn as long as you have essential connection problems.
