I know i tried that some Month ago. But the Offline Installer doesnt contains the Installer Framework or some other Tools i need. And after Installation there are no Servers setup in the Maintaince Tool, so that you cant install other Tools or do an Update. I dont know but there was a couple of Things i missed in the Offline Installer.
And the Maintaince Tool cant add new Packages, because they are not listed. Like switching to 5.9.1 from 5.9. You have to do a complete reinstall.

As i said i had to fight with this Problems many Months in a Row.

Hi, just guessing but maybe it's a firewall problem? You could try connecting to the internet through a VPN and then install Qt...

I dont think its a Firewall, because the Timeout occurs at 50-60% at different Packages. I need to try it many Times and sometimes im lucky and it works. Its only the Process where he try to recieve Metadata. After this, Installation works always fine.

Hmm, you also get the same Timeouts if you connect through Wi-Fi instead of a wired connection (or the other way around)?

Cant test it, but i dont have Problems with my wired Connection. I play Games, surf on Websites, watch Twitch Streams, Youtube Videos and so on. Qt Tool is the only Problem. Half Year ago i was thinking its me, but at the Moment i think its something else. I think the Tool uses the http Protocol.

Just checked the MaintenanceTool, I see that when it does "Retrieving meta information from remote repository" it connects to a server in Digia's network in Helsinki, Finland.

Normally when the MaintenanceTool downloads stuff it tries to go first to a server in the same country you're in, but that "Retrieving meta information.." part seems hardwired to Digia in Finland.

The URL to the Digia server is is http://download.qt.io/ see if you can download from it...

Now i tried to download the Package manually a few Times and it works great. I started the Tool

and go to this Page and downloaded the Package. Works great, but the Tool wont download it.

Hmm, just guessing, but could it be your anti-virus program that somehow blocks the download?

I deactivated my Antivirus but still get the Timeout

Ok another guess: maybe the Tool cannot save the files, it uses the directory in the TMP env. variable to create about 70 subdirectories called remoterepo-1fjNoZ, remoterepo-Zt5JDQ etc.

If you open a CMD window and type echo %TMP% you can check that the directory is a valid name on your harddisk.

P.S. Also, you can try to run cleanmgr to clean the TMP directory.

I deinstalled my Antivirus, cleaned my TMP Directory and still get the Timeout. But after some tries now im able to install it again.
