Bug 509206

Five bugs have been written and closed out as being RESOLVED UPSTREAM for this issue, yet this same exact problem still persists. For details about this issue, view bugs 509155, 509168, 509196, 509200, and for the bug that exactly describes my issue, view bug 509152.

Twice I downloaded and installed KDE Neon, and every time the issue repeats. It's been like this for a week now. Unlike the previous bugs reports, I did one extra thing by typing "sudo pkcon update" and the info I got was that it was downloading, but it would take 14 hours at 10kb to download. This means two things: KDE Discover is giving a fake error message about being unable to download the System Update because the update isn't available yet, or pkcon is giving fake downloading info that the download has been throttled and therefore this is not a sync issue.

Please look into this issue and make sure you understand the issue and can reproduce it before saying it has been "resolved". I was thinking of switching over to KDE Neon because KDE Plasma has a great reputation (and the integrated kFind is the best search app ever), but this issue might cause me to rethink what I think about KDE and their reputation. This is a new install that I am testing on another computer, and right out-of-the-box, it hasn't worked from day one.
