Download sudo-akshara-update takes ages

Hey, I am processing an update but my internet speed is for some reason very low so that the update at that level would take days. Can I interrupt the sudo-akshara-update process somewhat safely to first have a look at my internet speed problems or would that cause my system to fail? At this point the update is 'retreiving packages' so downloading them.

don't interrupt the process, you should know what speeds you're paying for pacman (used by akshara) also shows the current download speed at the very bottom (Total)

you can interrupt it safely, but akshara doesn't clean up after itself if you do so you'd have to delete /.update_rootfs and whatever else but what speeds are you actually getting? and how fast should you be getting?
