Qt Online Installer appears to limit download speed (very slow)
-
I have a 10 Mbps download speed but my I'm only getting around 10-30 KBps down when using the online installer.
I used a closer (same continent) mirror repository but the speed isn't getting any higher.
I tried downloading files directly from the mirror using a web browser and the speeds are actually higher than the download speed of the online installer so it can't be because that the mirror is slow.The repo: mirror repository 1
I also tried another repository which isn't from my continent but is just as fast.
Repo: mirror repository 2
Sample direct download from the first repo (same continent):
Downloading the offline installer directly from a web browser is faster than using the online installer but I don't want to use it since I can't update it to a newer version without uninstalling it.
How can I fix this issue?

hi @gghavoc
is this a fresh installer from the download page or from the Maintenance tool ?

@gghavoc
very strange, there were some changes recently to the installer, and I could have imagined something going wrong during the update process, but a limited download speed from the installer directly from the download page should not be the case.Maybe try to download the installer again?

@J-Hilk I already downloaded the online installer like five times, though. I did try updating stuff using the maintenance tool in my linux distro using the same mirrors and the speeds are pretty fast.
@joantoh Which one do I download? The offline-installer?

Same issue here. After few hours its still around 30%. ( I'm on Windows 7 ).
You likely got assigned a slow mirror.

I believe you have to select a different mirror till you get a "good" one, what else is there to say?
I believe the UI does not try alternatives for you, you need to use the command line to specify mirror? -

Btw: It is not "still not resolved"... it happens again from time to time.
Just because you found a topic from 5 years ago where this was mentioned, it doesn't mean that this issue persists since then.
