The mirror selected by the Installer has been down for a day. Now what do I do?

G'Day All,
I'm using the online installer to install QT 6.3 on to Windows. The mirror it has selected is hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. However, all connections timeout so I can't install QT. Strangely, all the Chinese University mirrors are down, but the Alibaba Cloud is up.
Is there a way to select another mirror for the installer to use? (btw I'm in Perth, Australia)
Cheers

I discovered how to choose a different mirror so I will answer my own question. Simply use the mirror switch on the command line to the online installer:
--mirror <repo-url>
You have to add the switch to the MaintenanceTool utility too.

@david_oz Hi,
I was having the same problem. Can you let me know how can we use a mirror switch on the command line in Windows ? I know how to do it in Linux, can you guide me for Windows. Thanks
