From time to time SC downloads historical data really slow, e.g. around 40s to download less than 3 hours of intraday data. Why? How to solve this? Internet connection is fine.

In one of the cases where it took 39s to download 3 hours of data there was 70540 records. So it's not just a matter of how much time has passed, but the amount of activity within that time. The line two up from the Completion time gives the amount of data such as the following:

Received 70542 Intraday data records from 2022-03-10 15:10:33.136000 to 2022-03-10 17:47:40.239000 (2.6 hours) and wrote 70540 records for GBPCAD

Therefore, we do not see anything unusual with this, depending on your Internet Service, connectivity, etc.

HD Request # 7 | Received 81025 Intraday data records from 2022-03-10 15:10:33.259000 to 2022-03-10 17:48:37.035000 (2.6 hours) and wrote 81023 records for GBPAUD | 2022-03-10 17:48:40.503
HD Request # 7 | Add time&sales data | Remembered last file record date-time: 2022-03-10 15:48:37.035000 | 2022-03-10 17:48:40.508
Added 2 Time and Sales records to Intraday data file for GBPAUD after download. | 2022-03-10 17:48:40.509
HD Request # 7 | Completion time: 7s | 2022-03-10 17:48:40.509

Then why it took only 7s to download 81023 records for GBPAUD? Seems like there is problem with something somewhere.

There are too many factors that can play into this that we can't say where the issue is. Most likely is is related to your Internet connection to our servers.
