Is this happening to others too ?

Yes, i have the same issue, it happens mostly when you have all the repositories enabled, and it takes longer when you have more apps. installed.

The quickest way is using Xterm.

sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

then you get a list of wich apps are going do be updated.
If you want to update just one app. then in Xterm

apt-get install "name of app"

If you want to select apps to update use

apt-get install "name of app1"space"name of app2"
