Hi Marcus, Thank you. Anybody WILLING to use it will wait whatever it takes, but my concern, and rant, is about these that want to give it a try and will abort it even before running it. I'm happily using Pharo in Windows preparing it for a demo I'll be making. Regards! On 19/09/2018 10:06, Marcus Denker wrote:
I will have a look how to improve the situation.
(I hope to be able to do it by next week).

After sending the previous email I checked the progress and it was aborted due to a network error.

I retried and apparently the speed got to a more reasonable one, with peaks of 300KB/sec.

My guess is that the bottleneck is at where the files are hosted, and if you attempt to download while maybe there are several CI builds running or something else is using the fileserver bandwidth, then it impacts the overall download speed of those attempting to download just the basic elements.

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.
