Had to manually download the full installer from an European mirror.
The online installer is basically unusable because of that. -
Hi and welcome to devnet,
You can change the mirror you use.
Take a look at the QtSdkRepoChooser project.

You can subscribe to the Interest mailing list and then post there: http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest The Qt engineers are active on that list.
(as we are connect to internet throw europe)?
May I ask which country you're living in?

Why QtSdkRepoChooser can't be integrated into Qt Maintenance Tool - it is not clear how to use it under Linux. I have 50 KB/sec speed and new Qt version installation takes about 8h, which is terrible! While I have 100 mb/sec Internet which allows to download things in few minutes. Tried to download offline installer from a mirror (only 1 GB size against 2.5 GB in online installation which seems to be small) but download speed also not so high here - about 100 - 400 KB/sec and takes too long. Need to solve this many years issue I think, add some torrent technology or something.

IIRC, that's a feature that is being added to the installer for a future version.

Thanks, good if so. Is there a roadmap or something?

I was thinking about QTIFW-441 but it's not the same thing. So I might have been wrong.
