The automatic Gitlab installer (Omnibus package) did setup an automatic repository on my Debian Jessie's apt. While this is very easy to use, it's extremely slow! Running the apt update command

sudo apt-get update

is extremely fast with all other repos sources (takes 2-5 seconds), but with gitlab it takes 20-30 seconds.

Am I the only one facing this issue?

Is there a way to use a faster mirror for gitlab?

I had problems installing GitLab. apt-get doesn't make any progress it always seemed to be hanging.

At the end I found this GitLab issue: Apt-get install hangs on Ubuntu 14.04

Someone encourages the use of apt-fast instead of apt-get. I followed his advice and installed apt-fast. Then I was able to install GitLab finally.
