    None worked.
    There's not such "Info" option in the second link and the alternative way doesn't work either because when I want to download "The requested URL /online/qtsdkrepository/{platform}/root/qt/ was not found on this server."

        Hi
        It just it says
        "The requested URL /online/qtsdkrepository/{platform}/root/qt/ was not found on this server."

        and i wondered why it had {platform} listed and not like Windows_64 or Linux or a valid platform.

          hi,
          yes.
          Here: https://github.com/JKSH/QtSdkRepoChooser/releases we don't have the pack for Linux.

          Never mind. I go for the offline pack. Thank you

              I downloaded the offline version. It's defective sadly. It lacks many features!

                Why don't they fix this problem? I don't think it's new!

                  I wish I could ask @JKSH why he hasn't put Qt SDK Repo Chooser for a Linux machine! :(

                    Hi,

                    As a workaround, what you can do is use your Qt provided distribution to build that project.

                      @SGaist Hi,

                      Here in the Alternative Instructions, #1 he says:
                      Download the contents of the following folder and all its subfolders. Ensure that you preserve the folder hierarchy:
                      For Linux x-64, it is here: http://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/root/qt/

                      But these are all .xml file, what to download!?

                        @qcoderpro You need to download that xml files and the "qt" subfolder.
                        The xml file "Updates.xml" is actually the key to change mirror.
                        You can see there's repo list in it.
                        The goal is to replace the urls with a mirror site which provides you faster download speed.

                          How to download those XML files?
                          The qt folder also contains 7 more files. They can be downloaded. But do I need all those many files?

                          Why isn't there a package for Linux, just like Mac, and Windows and we should deal with those wholly messy matters!?
                          Why the connection problem isn't solved?

                            @qcoderpro Wow, calm down, buddy! Those are freewares. They don't owe anybody anything.

                            As in the Readme of the repo chooser

                            Download the contents of the following folder and all its subfolders. Ensure that you preserve the folder hierarchy

                            I think it means you need to download everything in the folder.
                            To download a xml file, you can right click on the link and select "Save as" or something similar.

                              Everything in what folder, please? The qt folder?

                              And I can't using "save as" save those QML files.
                              I think the producer of this method could set a pack for Linux too to get rid of these many problems.

                                @qcoderpro
                                This folder: http://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/root/qt/
                                The xml files in it and the subfolder "qt".
                                Since you are using Linux, you can also right click and select "copy link" and download the xml by command line.
                                Using wget or whatever you usually use to download files in the console.

                                P.S. You can also read from the Readme that the author only provides windows versions. Mac versions are provided by another volunteer. Again, the author doesn't owe anybody anything. He just want to share his method and is not responsible for providing any binaries.
