    In short, enter:

    gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases

    Look for a line which contains alias net-pf-10 ipv6. Change it to alias net-pf-10 off.

    Save changes. Restart Ubuntu.

    It didn’t work for me dude.

    It is very slow when first trying to download a page, but it is faster while navigating to sub-folders within that site.

    But, thanks though.

    I don’t think it is just that, might be a deeper issue.
