eh i dont feel like restoring and re JB and put all my music tvshows and apps not to mention all the stuff i downloaded from cydia.. so i guess i will just deal with it.. it started last night
Mine was taking forever and it was a result to an issue with a manually entered repo. Not sure if this is the case. I had to SSH into my phone and manually edit out a few repo's that were hanging during the refresh. Not sure if you tried this, but maybe it's something to try. As soon as I did mine and saved it, next time i opened cydia it refreshed in under 10 seconds...
It's coming from all the repos you most likely added. Each repo loads their packages each time and the ones that error out also take time to load. Your best bet is to remove them from within Cydia (Manage>Sources>Edit) and/or remove them via SSH (http://modmyi.com/forums/file-mods/493631-remove-cydia-sources-through-ssh.html). That should fix your loading problem.
A word of advice: Try not to enter every repo you hear about/come across. Only add ones you know you need. A lot of repos are redundant as well so the same app is available on multiple repos.

I only added like 3 repos manually.. I dont enter every repo i hear about. I know all about jailbreaking and SSH i have been doing it since 1x firmware days.. what i am saying is out of nowhere it started doing it last night ..i havent entered any repos in since the day of jailbreakme.com
How the hell am I to know you've got all this "experience" jailbreaking? You never stated that in your post. I was offering assitance. With your vast knowledge of jailbreaking why didn't you already come up with the solution to your problem; to restore and re-jailbreak your phone?
Yeah had this with Cydia on the 3G and there was always loads of error messages as to why the updates failed, it was a pain I couldn't be bothered to learn to understand. I only JB to change the text tones, am really umming and arrring if to JB the 4 to modify the tones. I guess once the tones are changed you can take it off?
