It is so hard to download the Optional.zip and Required_1of2.zip from github

The connection was broken after a few minutes, when i attempt to download the Optional.zip from github. I try many times, but can’t still download the package. where can i download from other? or, please split the big package to small one, so i can download it one by one.

Have you tried a resumable download manager? That way if the connection terminates you can simply resume rather than restarting.

The connection of s3 server is unresumable. Browser show connection timeout when i resume downloading session.

Hey DaffyTwo-

The Optional.zip is only necessary when using Linux, Visual Studios 2012, or running on Mac. If these don’t apply then you won’t need to download the optional.zip.

The Required_1of2.zip and Required_2of2.zip is same. I want to compile the source, so i need these packages.

I think such resources can be published through torrents. Why not ?

Hey DaffyTwo-

I have submitted a feature request for us to investigate making the file sizes smaller so they will take less time to download

Cheers

We’re switching to a new system for downloading dependencies for the 4.6 release. You won’t need to manually download those giant zip files any more; they’re downloaded automatically (in smaller pieces) and set up for you.
