Feature Suggestion: Multithreaded Download

ItzFox

Multithreaded download be great for people that physically far away from Qt download center server (the server where Qt installer download components)

Multithreaded download make better use of the internet of the people have like if they have 2 MiB/s internet and download single component from Qt download center server only use up 100 KiB/s of the bandwidth. They could make use of 2 MiB/s internet by parallelize multiple downloads

Benefit people that physically far away from Qt download center server

Please tell me if i post this in incorrect category

Already exist. they are called bit-torrents. they concurrently download blocks from multiple share sourses spread out over the internet to better take advantage of available bandwidth...You'd have to take it up with the Qt company if you want the "product" distributed by that mechanism.

For the Qt online installer?
and i mean something like download 2-4 files at the same time which is different than what bittorrent do

That probably means that your default mirror is a slow one.

You can ask the installer to download from a different mirror: https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource
