Slow download speed

General Discussion

So if I do a speed test. I’m getting 630 Download Mbps, and 650 Upload Mbps. Great fantastic. Surfing the web, watching youtube, etc, is lightning fast.

Then. I’ll tried to download Whonix VirtualBox (I used to have it, before reinstalling Windows), which is 2.3GB, and it is telling me it’s going to take almost 2 days to download. Before reinstalling Windows, it was much faster, maybe 20 second download. Odd right. So then I decide, you know what, now’s the time I switch over to Qubes OS. Which is 6.8GB, and it’s saying it’s going to take 3 days to download.

What is going on here? Is everyone having this problem right now or is it my new updated computer acting strange…

I don’t understand from which operating system you are downloading.

Maybe slow download mirror? Try another one?

All I’m doing is going to the qubes os website, and clicking the download button to download qubes os. It’ll automatically start downloading. There is no mirror option.

My computer operating system is Windows 11

As you can see there is an option to download from other mirrors. Try that
