FWIW, I'm seeing the same slow down issue from three different machines:
  1. My personal computer in Vancouver BC.
  2. A work computer on Vancouver Island (Victoria BC)
  3. Microsoft ADO servers (presumably in Seattle WA).
Is it possible there's a slow pipe from North America to Europe?

I haven't touched my router configuration in years.

Looks fine on my side?

Couldn't it be something on your side, like a misconfigured router or ad
blocker or something? I get faster download times:

wget http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf.zip
