Horrifically slow download speeds for download.proxmox.com?

Hi Everyone, Hey PVE Staff,

Is it just me, or are the web servers for download.proxmox.com unbelievably slow? I'm updating a PBS instance after several months and realizing it will take hours.... This is naturally, inconveniently interfering with a maintenance window. Shame on me for not updating it sooner perhaps. But I am shocked by how slow this is. 20-40KB/s... :O

This is from a business fiber connection on Vancouver Island. I am used to seeing >10MB/s (80Mbps) on downloads even from popular servers, maybe 1MB/s from European servers. Dear PVE Developers / Staff: Please let me know if the no-subscription repository requires a North American mirror, I will volunteer one (i.e. for free) in 2027 outside of the Cascadia Earthquake zone in Kelowna.

Thanks!

Please check which specific IP of download.proxmox.com your PVE host resolves too, e.g. just using ping or dig or the like, as with that we can determine if your source IP gets correctly geoip-mapped and thus actually uses one of our north american CDN mirror hosts.
