Hello lyx users, it has been brought to our(=developers) attention that downloading speed of lyx installers might become too slow on various places over the globe. The size of installers was steadily growing past years and 220 MB might indeed pose problem in case users end up with connections speeds about ~10kbs...
That's why this small poll - we would be intersted to know how bad the situation generally is -- especially outside of Europe. If you have one minute of spare time could you download this file ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.3/lyx-2.3.0rc2/LyX-2.3.0rc2+qt5-x86_64-cocoa.dmg and report: 1. time to download (/ download speed) 2. country (and/or domain) where you download from 3. whether you download from home/academic network/large company... (you don't have to report more details than it feels comfortable...) Both good and bad answers matter, we want to know whether this is sporadic or widespread problem. In case your download of the link above is more than couple seconds, it would be useful if you also reported whether some of the mirror servers listed at http://www.lyx.org/Download#toc11 which are closer to your geographical location perform better. Thanks for your time, Pavel
