The problem is that some mirrors, from where the installer gets the data, are slow (for what ever reason). As far as I know it is planed to integrate a functionality into the installer to easily select another mirror.

Good evening to all.
I tried to install it myself and it was taking days. Now just a few minutes!I created a shortcut of the executable file by adding a parameter. I chose a mirror from Europe.
...\qt-unified-windows-x64-4.6.0-online.exe --mirror https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/

But it's ridiculous that the installer cannot provide a way to choose the mirror or even keep switching and hook to the faster one... -

Their download speeds are a joke.
And they expect people to pay for it? It's been 2 hours already and I'm not even on 10%I was looking for an alternative to tkinter, but now I get what "simple" meant on tkninter's description.
Just pass on this, the forums don't allow you to store pictures? what a joke. It's 2023 people.

I truly don't know: if you pay for a commercial license is there not a faster download available to you?

Yes. Commercial customers are served via Amazon AWS. For open source users, we're relying on a network of servers: https://download.qt.io/static/mirrorlist/. Typically the speed are OK there, but it happens that some servers just get slow, and then the list need to be tweaked ...

@kkoehne If you administer a server yourself, or know an organization who would volunteer to set up a mirror, let us know ! https://wiki.qt.io/Mirror_howto

This sounds like you're interested in just the python bindings. Then actually
pip install pyside6is your friend :)

So I don't know why @Jorge-Escobar is complaining about "And they expect people to pay for it?", if he is paying for a commercial licence he should use that.

Also works on macOS, in which case pull out .app and from the terminal:
./qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.6.0-online.app/Contents/MacOS/qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.6.0-online --mirror https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/Finish installation in minutes! Great job!
