      When downloading the Java version of Minecraft (from within the launcher) the download speed from Australia is about 0.01 Mbit. And it's been like that for at least a week.

      I've tried this from a variety of ISPs, via Highpeed internet, work VPN and tethered through 4G it's always the same, so I can only conclude it's a server issue.

      I then noticed here: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/resources.download.minecraft.net

      That there are a lot of different servers across the globe serving these files, so I changed my host file to point to 13.224.215.11 and got MUCH better speeds.

       

      This is what my default DNS setting shows:

      PS C:\Users\sam.sperling> nslookup resources.download.minecraft.net
      Server: UnKnown
      Address: 192.168.86.1Non-authoritative answer:
      Name: resources.download.minecraft.net
      Addresses: 13.224.47.60
      {{ 13.224.47.44}}
      {{ 13.224.47.82}}
      {{ 13.224.47.117}}

      I'd imagine most people here wouldn't know how to the dns settings and are stuck with insanely slow download speeds.

      I'd appreciate if you could improve those speeds, since it's basically unusable.

      What's the point of releasing new versions if now one in this region can actually download them?

      Thanks,

      .Sam
