Research direction

Start by reproducing the slow download from the reported https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/ids/.../redirect endpoint and compare it with the reported 70mb/s connection speed. Trace the redirect response and download path to identify where throughput degrades; done means the JDK download no longer exhibits the reported slowdown.
