Re: [QGIS-Developer] Downloads and random languages
Hi Colin, no, I'm not using VPN. Language decision may be up to browser, I understand that, but both problems started recently (maybe few months ago) and I get this weird behavior only on QGIS.org, I do not notice this on any other website. Also I believe it's not connected to my internet provider, because this problems also happen on my computer at work where we use different provider (also optical, high bandwidth internet connection). ned, 24. ruj 2023. u 00:57 Colin Sare-Soar via QGIS-Developer < qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org> napisao je: > I suspect that this is not particularly QGis related.

[QGIS-Developer] Downloads and random languages
I suspect that this is not particularly QGis related. Are you using a VPN? I get this often on various sites. It seems to be the browser that makes this decision, despite me setting everything to English. As for the speed, well that is always variable. I use certain apps that sometimes require heavy downloads like Qt and X-Plane and I also have quite a fast internet connection. I usually end up either choosing a different VPN server or disabling it temporarily.
