Packagist: Very slow download from repo.packagist.org

[sazo]

It is taking 22 secs to download 324 KB. This is for every request.

Looks like after downloading it's trying to execute contents of stdout:

We are experiencing the same issue. We are getting different results on different networks.

From office and mobile (4G) I get about 27 kB/s. At home I have no issues.

From office and mobile repo.packagist.org resolves to:

• 54.38.136.239
• 54.37.131.18

As I am at the office I will resolve the domain from home tonight if the issue is not resolved.

@piepkrak Confirm. We also found it network-dependent.

Here's a workaround : https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/7782#issuecomment-438585301

Confirmed. Also because of the slow downloading of the json files, I suppose that the connection times out so I get errors like:

Downloading http://repo.packagist.org/p/provider-2015%24869586ae3f412fc2085709f5d060d6e3296fb91c66346210b8812807060ca4ba.json
Content-Length mismatch, received 827167 out of 1070478 bytes:

Switching to the UK mirror as @vasilvestre suggested solves the problem.

Please see https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/7782#issuecomment-439035005 - don't forget to undo the workaround if you applied it.

I have now changed from my broadband to mobile hotspot and it started working much much better, on my broadband it was struggling to download even 1 json file

This could be related with Ipv4 vs Ipv6, check:
