Description

Fastly CDN is really slow (1MiB/s) when downloading data that is not in cache. Since this downloads specific nightlies that may be months old, there is quite a good chance that the downloads aren't in Fastly's cache.

I would think there would be a way to force the usage of CloudFront?

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating where cargo-bisect-rustc constructs downloads for old nightlies and how the Fastly URL is selected. Done means there is a supported way to force CloudFront for these downloads and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
