Some software downloads super slow, like Foxit reader. It would be of great help if PatchMyPC could use multiple URLs/ sources/ mirrors for downloading software.
- That said, I don't know if PatchMyPC already does this backend.
For instance, Foxit got two CDNs (according to https://forums.foxitsoftware.com/forum/portable-document-format-pdf-tools/foxit-reader/162003-foxit-reader-download-very-slow-so-slow-that-it-dies-other-downloads-work-fine (https://forums.foxitsoftware.com/forum/portable-document-format-pdf-tools/foxit-reader/162003-foxit-reader-download-very-slow-so-slow-that-it-dies-other-downloads-work-fine), verified by me before writing this post):
- cdn01.foxitsoftware.com
- cdn02.foxitsoftware.com
URLs (that I know of) for latest installer:
- https://cdn01.foxitsoftware.com/product/reader/desktop/win/11.0.1/FoxitPDFReader1101_L10N_Setup_Prom.exe
- https://cdn02.foxitsoftware.com/product/reader/desktop/win/11.0.1/FoxitPDFReader1101_L10N_Setup_Prom.exe
I don't know if PatchMyPC built in download logic/ mechanism would handle this, but "Free Download Manager" could do it so. It's possible. :)
