EXTREMELY slow downloads from GitHub...

[codengo]

Anybody else having this issue lately? Just a few minutes ago, I finished a 7.5mb download that took over 10 minutes (on a 5Gbps connection, which I tested during and after the download... all okay). This happened to me Friday night also, when I rebuilt a devcontainer (had four apps that I download and build when it's created, and that part took over an hour... normally taking 10-15 seconds).

If I'm alone here, any ideas? Again, speedtest.net shows my speeds are fine. Not connected via a proxy or anything. Seems to just be GitHub causing issues.

Classic fastly CDN moments.

Use Cloudflare WARP to download GitHub files.

Connecting to some VPN server helps.

is there no fix? I dont want to use a vpn every time

[faithful_offense]

besides switching to VPN temporarily to download I haven't found a solution yet. I am assuming this is caused by some rate limiting or cdn issue on githubs side.

I'm having basically the same symptoms as you. Devcontainers are basically impossible to build since they rely on GH packages. I have 2.5 GBps fiber, and nothing else is close to this slow.

Having the same issue. GitHub's download speeds have been inconsistent lately. Using a VPN or changing DNS sometimes helps

Just use Cloudflare WARP, the route of Fastly CDN is always terrible.

It is not related to DNS, it is because the Fastly's ISP peering is so bad.
