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?

Yes, much better! thank you !!
Hey,
Looks like it is happening again?
Could you try this link directly, what is your speed?
Looks like it’s working 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?
We found the problem and have fixed it on our side. Could you check again this link?
Now it works as it should. Thanks for the fast fix.

The root of the issue:
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.
Anyone having extremely slow github download speeds in China thorugh the platform? It was working well 1 week ago, but now for 3 days is impossible to download anything. If I try directly from github it goes fast, but then the platform tries the same link and it goes super super slow.
I’ve tried different networks, different VPNs, to no avail.
I’m using VSCode PlatofirmIO
Core: 6.1.18
Home: 3.4.4
Tried another laptop I have and it’s the same.
What is your download speed for https://dl.registry.ns3.platformio.org/tools/08/c7/7511ca5c84f8e747e04d6d0021c98d0c8ffef7c588782b0aec5b92ff5691/framework-espidf-3.40401.0.tar.gz ?
I am from India and I am facing slowness to download anything from platform it was working last week and I am facing issues for the past few days
This one goes really fast if I just click on it. (https://dl.registry.ns3.platformio.org/tools/08/c7/7511ca5c84f8e747e04d6d0021c98d0c8ffef7c588782b0aec5b92ff5691/framework-espidf-3.40401.0.tar.gz)
Buy anything that’s tried to be downloaded inside VSCode, like a new library I pull from github, goes super slow, for example:
Tool Manager: Installing https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/releases/download/3.3.0/esp32-3.3.0.zip
Downloading [------------------------------------] 1% 02:05:10
This for example goes lightning fast if I try to just download it through browser, but the from console in vscode it shows this and it goes super slow.
This explains the power of PlatformIO CDN, where packages are distributed across the continents.

Ok. Sorry to take your time.
For anyone having the same problem:
I fixed it by:
Setting proxy for the local env and running pio run from the console, instead of from vscode button.
