[Interest] Poor mirror performance for the online Qt SDK

[Sadika Sumanapala]

I have the same problem (I'm in Sri Lanka). yesterday i tried to download 4
times. It is very slow. And the worst thing is online installer missing
resume capability. If connection drops for whatever reason it starts to
download from beginning.
