&lt;p&gt;How did you install this SDK copy?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you have a toolchain? If yes, can you try running &lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;courier new&amp;#39;, courier;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-3.1.0/page/zephyr/develop/west/zephyr-cmds.html#installing_cmake_packages_west_zephyr-export"&gt;west zephyr-export&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]but, when I download to 50%, the bandwidth slow down. I try it for several times。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;can I get a clever way to download the sdk?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;What happened eventually after the bandwidth slow down? Does the download continue?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t claim that this has nothing to do with Nordic, but as far as downloading go,&amp;nbsp;there could also be some limitation impose by your internet provider or your organization IT. Have you checked there is nothing that could go wrong on those parts?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is an alternative way to install the SDK describe here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-3.1.0/page/nrf/installation/install_ncs.html"&gt;Installing the nRF Connect SDK&lt;/a&gt;. Check the command line option.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hieu&lt;/p&gt;

Try using a cable instead of WLAN.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SDK consists mostly of git repos, which&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; resume br0ken connection somewhat. But its not all downloaded in a single step, its multiple git repos downloaded one after the other.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
