Dear Ionuț,
I can reproduce your problem. It's https://mirrors.nxthost.com/ which
is extremely slow.
Please try
./install-tl --location https://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/mirror/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet
After installation execute
tlmgr option repository https://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/mirror/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet
to make sure that 'tlmgr update' uses the same mirror.
You might want to download from a mirror nearby instead of from one in
Germany. You'll find a list of mirrors here:
http://dante.ctan.org/mirmon
but you should avoid nxthost.com.
Regards,
Reinhard
