qt6 community version will not download: forbidden error

mwdarr

Download of the community version in online install fails with a forbidden error on the documentation files download. They appear to be downloading from Chinese mirrors.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you already try to change the mirror used by the installer ?

By following https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x ("Selecting a mirror for opensource").

Good to know how to change the mirror.
To be clear and as Walahcik indicated. It is only the documentation files that seem to be failing. At least half way through the download. Will a new mirror not try to download from those Chinese servers?
Also do you have a list of alternate mirrors I do not see one on the site.

There is a link on that side with a list of the mirrors.
