Running ]update on a fresh installation (no .julia folder) of Julia 1.5.1 just took me 35 minutes. Windows defender real-time protection was disabled. Observed this behavior on two separate Win 7 machines. Connected with that issue, the difficulty of offline package installation is a glaring defici…

[Previously, I was having trouble downloading from eu-central.pkg.julialang.org , no longer hanging or aborting at 99%, maybe problem wasn’t server side. Based on your name I’m not sure if you use eu-central, what do you connect to? Is it for you maybe a temporary problem, possibly neither a fault of…

[image] Mikhail_Kagalenko: The “always-on” assumption also excludes cost-sensitive users, to whom a lab of a dozen machines all downloading the same set of packages is a significant drain on resources. In that scenario running a local copy of GitHub - JuliaPackaging/PkgServer.jl is worth inve…

[image] Palli: That’s very strange, for me on Linux (and I assume should be the experience for all including on Windows) I have the same experience as you on Linux, but not on Windows. The fault is not with server, because I’ve had this issue on two different ISPs at different times, solely o…

Strange. In Windows, where is the .julia folder? The . is a Unix notation to hide files/folders, is that’s still the name on Windows?

On Windows, it is in “C:\Users\Username\.julia”

Like I said please report it (can’t be intended behavior, and I’m surprised nobody noticed), with the Windows label, with needed (at least minimal) info and link to this Discourse thread. [I hope they consider it, while Win7 no longer supported… I doubt the issue is with Win7, but you never know, it…

[image] Palli: Anything in your setup unusual, like C:\Users on a slow network drive? No, and as I’ve mentioned, it behaved in the same way on laptop with Win 7 Home and desktop with Win 7 pro,
