Yep. It's an incident that was fixed, but is still being resolved.
Apparently, when this happens, the queue for the files gets
backlogged and, in this case, is massive. It's expected to be
resolved some time today (they estimated about 24 hours).

I was also affected by it when I tried to grab a linux-firmware
update yesterday morning and got 19% of it in 4½ hours (yes, really)
before it aborted, telling me there was an issue installing this
update and that I should please try again later.

All throughout, the "Canonical and Ubuntu Status" page was
maddeningly unhelpful , because although it logged some brief
incidents in the past, the live status checks all showed as healthy
(i.e.: all is well), which was definitely not the case:

https://status.canonical.com

For a bit more information for those of us who were frustrated by
that, they put up a post about it on Ask Ubuntu:

It's also trending on Reddit, with people still adding comments:

I just tried my update first thing again today and the problem still
exists, so I'll wait until this afternoon to give it another go.
