There are fast mirrors in the Russian Federation and Belarus that allow you to speed up the download of update packages. ### Problem Ubuntu has an "Update Manager" that allows you to evaluate the speed and select the fastest mirrors. In Debian there is no such utility with a graphical interface. The same problem occurs in antiX 23.2, which is based on Debian Stable.
