System Information
Operating system: Windows 10 Home
Graphics card: RTX 980

Blender Version
Blender 2.93-4

Short description of error
I know this isnt a typical bug but not sure where else to report it. The download link to blender is going at 15-20kb/s where my download speeds are usually around 10mb at least. Checked internet, downloaded things off other sites with no issues. Used another computer to try downloading blender which resulted in the same thing happening. Blender's download took around 2 hours and crashed multiple times, trying it again this morning since I need it for work.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Clicking the download button for blender 2.93.4 (portable version equally as slow).

When you download which URL/mirror did you get given?

What country do you live in?

Do you use a VPN or other special networking?

You can try to view/select a different mirror once your download as started.

Download link - https://www.blender.org/download/Blender2.93/blender-2.93.4-windows-x64.msi/

I live in Australia and don't use a VPN or any other special networking.

I actually didn't know about being able to select different mirrors but its helpful to know in the future. My most recent download of blender didn't fail so everything is all good on my end, but thought you should know in case it might be helpful. Thanks!

Unfortunately, there are no download mirrors geographically close to Australia so you are likely to have a slower download.

If you experience this in the future, at the bottom of the screen after hitting download you can try selecting different mirrors which might be more favorable:
