Qt Online Installer is too slow

dasun

I'm from Sri Lanka, I use suitable mirror when I'm downloading offline installer. This time I'm trying online installer, but it is too slow. Can I change mirror in Online Installer ?

Not easily. There's a way to hack it; see option #3 at https://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/36351

Please add your vote to https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTIFW-441 so that the functionality will be added to the installer GUI

I try to update document from 5.3 RC to release using this repository:
http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/qtproject/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/qt5_53_src_doc_examples/
And it faster than the default repositories.

I can update my linux64 Qt Installation using jaist repositories.

You can choose the fastest server from your location. Jaist is fastest server from Indonesia. I can get x Mbps

Dont forget to uncheck the default repositories.
