After you open the Deepin Store click on the little down arrow in the upper right hand corner and select Preferences then select Mirrors then click on Select the best mirror.

After that your Update Download speeds should be much better.

Thanks, I did that.

But how do I tell it to stop trying to update?
I already did `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`, and installed the updates through command line - but still every time I open the store it tries to continue the updates from before. Closing and re-opening the store doesn't help (nor logging out). Only restart works

Try the command below... Apt-Get Info...

Our design is to continue the updates from before. please tell us your country and we will add more mirrors to improve the update speed.

I live in Israel

We found two mirrors in your country
http://mirror.isoc.org.il/ and http://releases.ubuntu.spd.co.il/

and try to contact them, but no reply.
Could you help us to contact them to add our mirror?
There are their email:

I usually replace Deepin Store (or the old Software Center) with Synaptic after a fresh install.

Deepin Store does not work well - it freezes for up to 30sec on starting, often crashes without issuing an error-message, and gives the user no indication of how much of the installation has been completed.  It is not even possible to know if a software update is proceeding or if it has stalled - which with slow servers, often occurs.

At the very minimum, the developers should show how much of the update has been completed, or better yet, list each file as it is being installed - just like Synaptic does!

In short, Deepin Store should be avoided - use Synaptic instead.

Currently, where you stuck is in the process of downloading the updated installation package, the information of how much of the update has been completed has been shown in the the progress bar when downloading and updating in Software Center.

Maggieszd:

I don't know what to make of the Deepin Store. Tonight I tried to use Synaptic to install software, but it failed. So, I decided to give the Deepin Software Center (I like that name much better than calling it a store) another try. I let it choose the fastest mirror and everything began well.

However, the progress bar filled completely, but the installation went on and on and on. There was no indication that the installation was complete. Finally, I closed the "Store" after 40 minutes and checked to see if the software was on the desktop. No. I restarted the computer to see if that made a difference, but it didn't.

So, I went back to the "Store" and started all over. Only this time the "Store" took only a few seconds and reported that the software was successfully installed. Clearly, the first attempt had successfully downloaded the package, but apparently it had not installed it. Honestly, I don't know how the store is supposed to work.

Perhaps, you should explain exactly what steps a user should take to begin and complete installation of software. Right now, I don't think the Deepin Store works the way it is supposed to.

@masonf, please view the information you want in the last category on the top of Deepin Store.

About updating from different mirrors, why do some mirrors lack apps from the store? Most of the apps aren't in South Africa's database (SAIX and WebAfrica). Is there anyway I can help keep these 2 mirrors up to date?

I'd like to add that the real terrifying problems of the deepin store is that it won't warn you if installing a package will remove important core packages. See my thread here for more details: http://www.linuxdeepin.com/forum/25/23618

Until there's a fix for this, I advise you all to use synaptic and avoid the deepin store.

@yuvii

This problem has been confirmed, we are talking about the solution. If the lock core packages can't be uninstalled, but which is uninstalled by third party software, and these packages can not be installed in the Software Centre, because it is locked.

@Adjan
http://ftp.wa.co.za/pub/deepin/ is in our library, we have two South Africa mirror sources, you can change to another one.

That's good to hear. I would love to know when the fix will be released, and then I'll try using the store once again

We will fix it ASAP, because the work load is too heavy, we need more time.
Good news, we will develop Deepin Store 3.0 version.
