    Yes, this tool http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/JKSH/QtSdkRepoChooser/blob/master/doc/index.html
    increases the speed by 500%, why does Qt Installer not use this method?

      @User-Name The problem is not the installer itself. 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.

        Download speed for offline packages is not much better

          @smersh2 Same thing I suppose, you have to fine the fastest mirror site relative to you? I happen to have a good one I guess.

            If you dont want to go through complex fixes, just wait, usually it gets faster after sometime

                  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/
                  Select mirrors from here: https://download.qt.io/static/mirrorlist/

                    @CostasBal 9 minutes instead of 9 hours. Thank you!
                    BTW, this works with MaintenanceTool.exe as well.

                        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...

                          @cauefelipe1 you can change the mirror from the command line. There's also a ticket that has been opened to make it easier to do it from the UI.

                            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.

                                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 ...

                                    This sounds like you're interested in just the python bindings. Then actually

                                    pip install pyside6
                                    

                                    is your friend :)

                                      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 ...

                                      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.

                                        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/
                                        Select mirrors from here: https://download.qt.io/static/mirrorlist/

                                        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!

                                          @CostasBal Currently also experiencing horrible download speeds

                                          But nowadays we can just use the Qt installer with an option to select the mirror. On Windows it is .\MaintenanceTool.exe --mirror https://somemirror.com (with one address from https://download.qt.io/static/mirrorlist/)

                                          No need to use the old Repo Chooser anymore
