Description
@lucascolley found out that using Invoke-Webrequest is horribly slow in conda-forge azure CI. It took 42 seconds to download pixi. This PR changes the method used to download the file. I expect this to run in ~2 seconds instead of 42.
I can confirm that locally on my windows machine this is also a huge improvement.
install.ps1onmaintakes 23 seconds on my machine.install.ps1from this branches takes 2 seconds.How Has This Been Tested?
@lucascolley will test in CI.
