I don't know much about cpp development, and was just looking for a simple way to do serial communication to an arduino in cpp.

I was lead to boost/asio.hpp but downloading and unzipping the release (both 1.84 and 1.82) is estimated at 90 minutes.

Is this a normal amount of time or am I doing something wrong? Can I speed it up somehow?

Thanks

Where are you downloading it from?

I just downloaded 1.84 from https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.84.0/source/boost_1_84_0_rc1.tar.gz, and it took about 8 seconds. Unzipping took a bit longer, but under 20 seconds.

I got it from the github releases page. downloading was fast but unzipping was slow. I'll try that link in a bit

Edit: You should think "what questions might they ask me?" "how can this be replicated"?

Such as the exact link you downloaded from, the exact command you used to unzip the archive, your geographical location for the download, information about your local operating system etc etc.
