Download speed for pip install inside docker container very slow

While creating a docker image from a dockerfile or being inside the created container, pip install <package> in a conda environment is super slow.

The download speed hugely differs if I do the same without docker. I tried to change the mirror pip install -i http:pypi.doubanio.com/simple <package> and can gain slight improvements, but still different inside and outside of docker. Testing the download speed inside the container via curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py | python - gives me the expected good results.

I suggest building with the --network host when running docker build. This will guarantee the RUN instructions to use the host network directly. That way you will be sure that slowness is not related to docker.
