[Qt-creator] Update process

I selected "Check for Updates" from the menu. It took about 2 minutes to
tell me "yes there are updates do you want to install them". I clicked yes
and it launched the maintenance tool which then ran through the whole 2
minute process again (downloading manifests I presume).

So it takes me roughly 5 minutes before I'm actually downloading anything.

(Actually longer because I clicked the "Go back" button by accident so it
downloaded it... again.)

Is this working as intended? Surely the manifest(s) should be cached and
only downloaded if they have changed?

Thanks!

Unfortunately it has happened to me since I started using the maintenance
tool, so I don't think it's a server being overloaded. Just decided to
speak up this time :-)

I saw that as well, I think everyone is overloading the server(s) for
5.10.1
Once the inial download was done it was fine after that. Maybe that's not
on a CDN?

I want to say the typical "me too", so: me too. I have the same delays.

Afaik the opensource online content is loaded from our MirrorBrain instance at https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/ .
So any kind of connection speed also depends a lot on the mirror that you get assigned for a file.

The count of individual URLs that are retrieved are probably not helping either ;) (as described in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTIFW-975).

Though here retrieving the meta data takes more something like 20 seconds.

Thank you everyone. Surprised there's no cacheing, but glad it's a known
issue :-)

Voted!
