I'm bumping this, just in case it helps somebody.

I tried to download the latest Pharo Launcher 1.6, and I had the same issues as the ones stated in this thread (slow download, timeouts, etc.).

But I downloaded it with a download manager [1], and by means of ten simultaneous connections the download speed was fast enough as to download the 50 MB in a minute or so.

So I don't know if there is a restriction from the file server or somewhere in the way out, but you can work around it by means of a Download Manager.

Ok, so the upgrade of the server contract did not help.

There is a CDN included, I will try to enable that next (but CDNs cache by name, so we need to make sure we invalidate the cache��)

I will do a calculation what S3 would cost, too.

I'm reviving this because I can't finish the download of an image using the latest Pharo launcher.

I'm timeout errors when attempting to download it. Tried 5 times at different intervals.

Any idea of what could be happening?

Is there a reason why the latest version of the builds linked from the website are not hosted in some CDN, Amazon S3 or similar?

Maybe in Europe the speed is fast, but where I am (Argentina) it is really slow, the screenshot shows 3.5KB/s, it averages 10KB/s, with peaks of 40KB/s.

This is an pitiful boarding experience, that will make many cancel it even before getting to open the downloaded launcher.

The screenshot shows that is not a problem with my home connection, which isn't the fastest but is "normal" for my use cases.
