I installed ParrotSecOS in VirtualBox per your own guidelines, and gave it 8 gb RAM, 4 processor cores, and a 120 gb hard disk. It is configured to use my wired connection. Trying to run Check for update, or trying to run sudo parrot-upgrade are taking hours and not updating anything. My speedtest on the VM is showing 96 mbps down and 22 mbps up. Thinking that I must have done something wrong, I deleted the VM and reinstalled it and it is now even slower. Should I be trying to find the ISO for an earlier version, or is there some reason that this one won’t update? The screenshot below is of an update that has been running for 5 hours.

Logs/Terminal output(use pastebin or similar services):
Fully reinstalled this morning and am leaving upating alone. At this point I have a working VM with no issues that I have found yet. It does seem that the update process is not going to be an option for this VM.
Terminal Command Example: sudo md5sum <path to your downloaded .iso file>/<name of .iso file> (Be sure to get the syntax correct, e.g., the capitalized “D” in /Downloads/)
WARNING: If you did not store your custom package selections and settings in an encrypted persistence partition (which you have cloned – so that you can clone it back to the newly updated drive (i.e., reflashed with the upgraded .iso)), you will lose all customization, including personalizations, like display font choices, toolbar settings and background/wallpaper settings.
