The download speed of github is so terrible in China that it’s difficult to make a git clone to fetch the full source.
I would be be better if there is an option to include full sources when installing Flax via the launcher ( InstallFlax.exe), just like what UE4 does. So that we can fetch the sources when installing flux.

Since Flax servers are in Europe, i guess you will have the same slow bandwidth as with github.

But it will be more convenient to install the sources. Most of the open source commercial engines include their source code in installation. Also, the Flax server seems to be significantly faster than git clone on my side.

Could be a nice addition to have some features for Engine sources in Launcher. For now, you can clone the repo from our server in Europe (located in Warsaw): https://gitlab.flaxengine.com/flax/flaxengine

For what it's worth, looks like there is a github mirror in china, have you tried it ? https://github.com.cnpmjs.org/FlaxEngine/FlaxEngine
