Extremely slow download speed for iOS 26.2 Simulator Runtime in Xcode

I am located in Taiwan and recently updated my Mac to the latest OS and installed the newest Xcode. However, I’m experiencing extremely slow download speeds when trying to add the iOS 26.2 Simulator Runtime (approx. 8GB) via Xcode > Settings > Platforms.

It is currently downloading at a rate of only 500MB per hour, which is impractical. I have checked the official downloads page but couldn't find a standalone DMG link for this specific version.

My questions are:

Is there a direct download link (DMG) available on the Apple Developer portal for the iOS 26.2 Simulator?

If no direct link exists, are there any recommended methods to accelerate the download? (e.g., using terminal commands or changing DNS settings).

Any help or direct URLs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
