Most of the links to non-Apple downloads of XCode from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.baidu.com&#x2F;s?wd=xcode%206.4%20%E4%B8%8B%E8%BD%BD" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.baidu.com&#x2F;s?wd=xcode%206.4%20%E4%B8%8B%E8%BD%BD</a> seem to have been taken down.<p>If anyone else is interested, the SHA256 of XCode_6.4.dmg is fc25d75f23d82084dd740d7e29d0e5adea96dd600d1e19bc86408c133d1edf66 but you should verify that yourself as Apple don&#x27;t seem to publish it (!).<p>This is one of those cases where a torrent + webseed would absolutely shine. Many torrent clients will try to prioritise peers that are closer geographically to speed up downloads.

I&#x27;m not sure that graph will be entirely accurate - it says the data comes from Akamai - at least for my ISP in Australia they have an Akamai node about 15km away from me (not sure of cable length). Australia definitely shouldn&#x27;t be third on any graph of Internet speed.
