Many big software downloads are hosted on different servers around the world. Where possible, it’s wise to choose a ‘mirror’ source in the your country, because the file will not have to travel so far and will therefore download much faster. If a Your country mirror is not available, try a nearest location instead.
Usefully, you can set Free Download Manager to automatically search for mirrors when a file is over a certain size.
Go to Options, Settings, Mirrors, select ‘Automatically search for mirror URLs’ and enter a size in the ‘Don’t search if the file size is less than’ box. You can also choose ‘Calculate mirrors’ speed’ so that you always download from the fastest source (usually the nearest one).
