I'm downloading a release from Github and the download speed does not exceed 50KBps. So, I investigated a bit what was going on and I stumbled upon the linked reddit thread. It seems that Github and Microsoft prioritize connections from the US, thus discriminating the rest of the world. Very disappointing for such a huge corporation.
