    I recently installed qt with the offline installer but was having some issues. So i uninstalled the offline one and try installed with the online installer, but the online installer takes for freakin ever. It's been 1 night now and it's still on 12%. I have 16gb of ram and pretty good internet.

      Hi @Joseph-Joshua, welcome to the Qt Dev Net!

      Is the installer being slow on downloading the small Metadata files? Or downloading larger binary files?

      If it's the larger files, you might have a slow mirror. See this: https://forum.qt.io/topic/43349/slow-downloads-with-the-online-installer-try-this-tool

      Also, which package(s) did you select for installation?

              Great! I'm glad it's working for you.

              May I ask which country you're in? (I'm trying to find out which parts of the world suffer from slow default downloads)
