I observe that the download speed of AIP charts from all countries, as well as additional flight guides (e.g. AvioPortolano) has become very slow since some weeks. The AvioPortolana for example with 800 MB downloaded once in 2 or 3 minutes, now it takes nearly 30 minutes.
Observed on Mac, iPad and iPhone, all with the latest Skydemon version.

That's strange. I just tried downloading the whole of Avioportolano as you mention, and it took 2 minutes 44 seconds to download the 860mb.

Perhaps you were trying to download it at a time of high contention, for example on an AIRAC day when there will be thousands of people all trying to do the same thing.
