apt doesn’t download Contents files by default; if it’s doing so on your system, it’s probably because you have apt-file installed too. In that case, to disable Contents downloads, disable the corresponding configuration file:
sudo mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50apt-file.conf,.disabled
This will cause apt update to skip Contents files. As a result, apt-file will operate on obsolete information; to update its indexes, re-enable the configuration file:
sudo mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50apt-file.conf.disabled,
and run apt update again.
