      Some powershell commands or cmdlets display progress. I am using Invoke-WebRequest in scripted pipeline. Prepending $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue' to my script block allows Invoke-WebRequest to perform downloads and uploads at expected speeds. Without it I was getting ~100x worse performance.

       

      I don't understand this in detail. Please consider managing this ProgressPreference in the durable task powershell step.

       

      node('windows'){
  powershell """
    \$start = Get-Date
    Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile 'jenkins.war' -Uri 'http://mirrors.jenkins.io/war-stable/latest/jenkins.war'
    \$end = get-date
    (\$end - \$start).TotalSeconds
    """
