After I installed Distrod, ubuntu focal, I tried installing some programs, but the internet speed is crazy slow.

I had normal WSL 2 installed previously, and the internet speed was fine, just wondering if this issue is well known or?

Check what's slow is actually the Internet connection or just apt, please? Distrod doesn't have any ability to slow down the Internet connection. My guess is you're using the default config of Ubuntu apt that connects to default US servers, and your network location is far from them. Try updating the mirror server list.

Thanks for responding, really appreciate it.

I edited my /etc/apt/sources.list to use au.archive etc.. url's but it made no different in internet speed. I'm getting speeds of between 1kB/s and 50kB/s, average internet speed to America from Australia is about 400kB/s so, should still be more even if it was from America.

And I ran a speedtest-cli and the output was

lopu@win:~$ speedtest

One thing I noticed after installing was that a lot of programs like wget, curl, nano, were not installed already and I had to install them manually, is this normal with Distrod?

I don't think this is a distrod issue. I've tested installing vanilla WSL and it is still doing it. Weird that it only started after using distrod installer but hey. Who knows
