PlatformIO packages download is slow

1

Hey,
I’m trying to download packages from PlatformIO, but it’s unbearably slow, and it’s been like that since yesterday. My internet connection appears to be fast and stable, so I’m guessing one of the mirrors in my region is faulty.

Hi, thanks for the report. We are checking this issue and will back to you with the updates soon.

Meanwhile, we disabled that CDN mirror and you can try downloading packages again. Does it work better now?

I have the same issue. With PlatformIO it takes hours to download. And when i try the provided link. It also take around 4 hours o download.
With speedtest.net i get 50Mbit. So that shouldn’t be the problem.

How to get it working again?

I’m not sure if it has been fixed. Or if it was, it might be back. I’m consistently getting extremely slow download speeds. The direct download link above was in the few kbps range. Few of my attempts even failed.
