Hi,

We do not yet have a Qt Project mirror 'down under': 
http://download.qt-project.org/static/mirrorlist/

If you can ask your local mirror providers to mirror Qt, great! Instructions on 
how to become a mirror are found at: http://qt-project.org/wiki/mirror_howto

Yours,


Tuukka

Subject: Re: [Interest] Poor mirror performance for the online Qt SDK

Yes, for me too in Southeast Asia it always chooses China which due to the 
national firewall is super slow always. The logic should be to only choose 
China mirrors from within China, otherwise ignore it.

You aren't the only one. I get the same Chinese mirror in Australia and it is 
terrible. It taught me that wget has a default retry limit of 20 times!

The online installer and the browser download are not useable in Australia, 
even on a fibre connection. Download the offline installer and either use wget 
with infinite retries (it'll keep picking up where it left from, thankfully), 
or click on the "info" link on the Qt website to download from a different 
mirror, or use aria2c<http://aria2.sourceforge.net/> which can download from 
many mirrors at once and will download it in a reasonable time.

I've already written to the Contact form on the Qt project on the website about 
this, but I have not had any reply yet.
