I think this correlates with the increase of package update frequency from
once a week to (sometimes more than) once a day. [1]
I thought that the CI systems like Travis do some caching of packages so it
is not re-downloading new packages for every build of every pull request?
If not, adding one commit to a PR in LDC means 6 downloads from llvm.org...

We decided to temporary switch APT repo off to see if this would help.

Because LDC's core CI testing depends on the APT repo, I hope a replacement
solution is found quickly.
Thanks very much,
