Performance performance problems when using download from powershell script

$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue' needs to be added before any Invoke-WebRequest @WebRequestSplat Used for downloads from a prepared link

In our environment we went from doing restore 14 hours to 20 min for a large file just by adding this to the scripts

Scripts that we know using this are: Start-RubrikDownload.ps1 Start-RubrikVMDownload.ps1

Original script in both cases above have at the end

if (Test-PowerShellSix) {
  $WebRequestSplat.SkipCertificateCheck = $true
  Invoke-WebRequest @WebRequestSplat
} else {
  Invoke-WebRequest @WebRequestSplat
}

Changing them to

if (Test-PowerShellSix) {
  $WebRequestSplat.SkipCertificateCheck = $true
  $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
  Invoke-WebRequest @WebRequestSplat
} else {
  $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
  Invoke-WebRequest @WebRequestSplat
}

Increases performance by a factor of at least 40
