If you feel that #FDroid downloads are slow, just press ❎ to cancel the download then press Install/Update again so it picks up some other mirror.

There's no unified "F-Droid server" but several and a dozen or more mirrors.

Each time you try again it will use a different one. Hopefully the next one will have better bandwidth.

/PS: We've seen the reports, we will look into it.

(And yes, that typo in the URL will stay there forever 🙄)

Yes, swipe it away and be amazed how on reopen pages won't load. 😢

We got tricks for you:

1️⃣ Instead of swiping the app you use the ❎ Close option. The button appears if you enable "Delete browsing data on quit" in Settings. eg. keep only "Cached images and Files" toggled ON

2️⃣ *No joke* when the page loads and drags on, you just lock the screen. 🤷 On device unlock the page will load. 🎇
