The same here but for QT 5.15.2.

Hi folks,

If memory serves well there were some changes done to the server configuration that should alleviate the situation. One other alternative is to try with a different mirror.

15 hour(s) to complete download, then terminated and didn't install it. It must be not normal!

[Ettore]

Ok, it seems I solved. For those who use VPN services select Finland as VPN mirror area and try again. In my case the speed has dramatically increased up to 9MB/s and I did download in less than half an hour, which is more than reasonable.

@Ettore How do you select a mirror in the installer? Or are you talking about selecting a different server in your VPN app?

@phonon You cannot set a mirror directly in Qt online installer. I'm about setting a server in my VPN app. I use nordvpn but any equivalent VPN service will suffice.

@YogeshR Open a command prompt in the directory of the installer .exe and type:

qt-unified-windows-x64-4.6.0-online.exe --mirror https://qt.mirror.constant.com/

or use 1 of the other mirrors at:

https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml.mirrorlist

Only use the first part of the mirror link before online/
