I did the download overnight anyway so I don't need further help resolving it, but I'll do that post on the Development mailing list to help others.
...unfortunately it is no longer possible to manually choose a mirror in the online installer.
Post the download speed you get from your default mirror, compared with the download speed you get from the best mirror you can find manually.
I'm confused, if I'm unable to manually choose the mirror in the installer, am I supposed to test my best mirror speed on the offline sources instead?
If I manually select http://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/ today I can get ~1 MiB/s.
Presumably from the offline mirrors? Using the same mirror only gave me 330KBps.
The smallest possible download is a few hundred MB, which can be feasibly downloaded on a 200 KiB/s link.
The MSVC 2019 32 and 64 bit for Qt 5.15 are each 7GB so that's what I meant by smallest possible download.
