Hi everyone,

I'm trying to download the latest Proxmox VE ISO (proxmox-ve_9.2-1.iso) from the official enterprise repository, and to be honest, the download speeds are absolutely unacceptable.

I am getting a frustrating 120-130 KB/sec transfer rate. For a 1.58 GB file, my download manager is showing a remaining time of nearly 30 hours.

Even with a download manager (IDM) trying to open multiple parallel connections to speed things up, the server seems to heavily throttle the connection or there is a massive peering issue happening on the Proxmox side. Some connections fail to establish entirely, while the active ones are barely moving.

We are living in 2026, and experiencing dial-up era speeds from an enterprise-grade infrastructure provider just doesn't feel right. Is anyone else experiencing this right now? Is there an official mirror or an alternative network path we can use to get the ISO without wasting a whole day?

I’ve attached a screenshot of the download status below. Any help or mirror suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

After seeing this thread, I decided to download the latest ISO since I hadn't done so recently, and I found that downloading the VE ISO only takes 3 minutes.

I think it's probably a network issue.
