[Interest] Installer problems

[EXT Mitch Curtis]

I agree. I created a somewhat related suggestion here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTIFW-3012

From: Interest <interest-bounces at qt-project.org> on behalf of Turtle Creek Software <support at turtlesoft.com>

Subject: Re: [Interest] Installer problems
Thanks for the suggestion.  We did finish the installs eventually, but we'll try that if the problem repeats in the future.
If time-outs are a common problem, maybe it would help to add this as an option in the installer interface? More accessible than a terminal command line buried in a wiki...
Thanks, Casey McD

Does it help if you choose a different mirror?
