Guess what, even people from India get that mirror and still get 5Kbps speed. I introduce people to Qt and have no answer when they ask "So this has been the case for all these years and no one cares to fix it?".

Hi,


You can use the QtSdkRepoChooser for the maintenance tool:

Tip: Every time there is a new Qt release, you need to generate the repo files again using QtSdkRepoChooser or you won't see the update
