Yes, a good news is the new installer, but the bad news is download speed from your server are very very slow

We don't have our download server. We host the file on Amazon, which surely is the fastest server out there, and downloads are replicated across the entire Cloudflare network, which spans over 200 servers:
https://www.cloudflare.com/network/
Cloudflare automatically selects the node closest to your location. So, it's not our download speed is slow, because it's extremely fast ( 50 MB/s here ), but it's either a problem on your local Cloudflare node, or POSSIBLY a problem with routing to it caused by your ISP.

I have no problem with my ISP.
I have to wait more than 8h. ???
Thanks for your answer.

You surely have, otherwise the download would be very fast, as normally is. I checked Cloudflare status, and most of their servers are up:
https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
They only reported a problem with some Enterprise accounts, but we don't use those features.

Nobody has to wait that much, there's clearly a problem on your side.
As I've said, it's downloading at 50 MB/S here ( I think my download come from either the Zurich node or the Frankfurt node ), so it should be 40 seconds for 2GB, using my 1Gbit/s cable connection. A more common 100Mbit/s connection would then take about 6 minutes.
If you want to be sure the problem is your ISP, you can try using a VPN, like this one:

Use the free Basic version. What a VPN does, is bypass your ISP routing, so you'll download as if you were located somewhere else, with a different ISP. A VPN will be a bit slower than a direct connection, but it surely won't be that slow, and you'll know something might be wrong with your ISP routing.
