Slow download in Actions

Body

I have created a workflow which runs python script that checks if an official goverment data was updated and if it was my script downloads new data, converts it and update my database, but the downloading file has 3GB and my Github Actions has limit of 1.28MB/s. It takes 30 minutes to download it.

Is there way to speed it up or maybe I should use some specific tool? I really have no idea how to speed the process up..

This is also slowing down some of my workflows! I'm very interested in ways to accelerate the process / circumvent it
