the login page is downloading for at least 5 mins because matrix-client.matrix.org is unavailable in my country

[attebjorner]

Steps to reproduce

1. downloaded the app
2. press "sign in"
3. I have to wait for the spinner >5 mins

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expect the spinner not to be so long, a lot of my server users think my server is down

What happened instead?

I looked the logs, logged the full exception and the problem is happening when the app tries to fetch the versions from https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/client/versions
It happens here
For some reason the url is not available from my country

[attebjorner]

also the LoginConfig either doesn't seem to work or I don't understand how it should, I have the latest app version from gplay, but when I try to pass my server in request params
https://mobile.element.io?hs_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmyserver.org&is_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmyserver.org
I can only see a page which tells me I need to upgrade the app.
