Issue Downloading / Installing Plesk in China is very slow

[xyptilon]

The topic says it all, downloading / installing on a server in Alibaba Cloud (China) is very slow, many of the following / similar messages:

http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PHP_5....php56-intl-5.6.22-centos7.16052711.x86_64.rpm: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PHP_5....php56-intl-5.6.22-centos7.16052711.x86_64.rpm: (28, 'Operation too slow. Less than 1000 bytes/sec transferred the last 30 seconds')
Trying other mirror.

It litterally takes hours. Any work-around?

Make sure that hostname autoinstall.plesk.com is resolvable to 93.184.221.133 IP address. If not - define it in /etc/hosts file.

That seems a little faster, however sometimes my SSH session gets disconnected and it forces me to start over. Which is not possible if an installation was half-way done and a plesk repair installation cannot fix it.

Is there a way to keep downloaded files, so it doesn't have to start from 0 all the time? or does it have a download-only mode?

As possible solution, you can create your own local mirror with help of mirrorctl utility - https://kb.plesk.com/en/113337
