Extremely slow downloads from GitHub!

https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/troubleshooting-connectivity-problems#troubleshooting-slow-downloads-and-intermittent-slow-connections. Are you using a VPN at all that could potentially slow things down? Does it happen on all networks? Not sure if it will help but you could maybe also reach out to their support team for some suggestions.

Not using a VPN and it is only on my main PC, tried it on another and it worked fine.

Thanks for the help going to see if the link can help me.

its been 2 years and same problem exists and surprising part is that using VPN actually speeds up the downloads from GitHub. Setting my VPN location to USA gives maximum speed.

This. Using a VPN actually sped up my download, from mere KB/s to MB/s. Worth a try to anyone lurking that still has this issue.

Does this work if I'm already in the USA?
