    Try a different mirror: https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource

      Thanks you for your kind response. I have already tried with 1 more mirror and the error was same just with mirror name difference (which is obvious) .
      So, should I try with all of the mirrors or this could be due to some other reason.

      Thanks again

        I'm not sure what's the reason, but I definitely cannot connect to your first mirror: https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/ is not responding to me.

        Find one that works from here: https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/desktop/qt5_5152_src_doc_examples/qt.qt5.5152.doc/5.15.2-0-202011130724qtquickcontrols-documentation.7z.mirrorlist -- then use that mirror

            The instructions are at https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource

            Run the installer from the console/Command Prompt and pass the mirror URL as an argument

              I am also not able to download the Qt creator. It is showing the same error for me also.
              Can someone guide me about how to fix this error and finish the installation?
