It takes quite a time to show all releases when you select 'archive' category.

I don't have that kind of data in my hands now but it isn't that easy to choose mirroring strategy based on the release; releases aren't in one folder in online installer and so on it would be quite hard for mirrors to define which repos (==folders) should not be mirrored. - Jani -- Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
