hey Nigel, There is no options to download VS in parts wise. 1.You have to use any tools which is used for downloading like IDM. 2.Resume options is also there to start from where u stop. 3.https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=44914

I would strongly recommend you to download the VS community from their site directly. Just find a browsing center with good speed and download it from there. :). This is always good. However, as an alternative you can try the below ways too. AFAIK, there is no authenticated torrent by MS. However try to google. I would you suggest try to use the tools called "internet download mangers" (again try to google) they have the capability to download as per your need. Meant that, it will start the download from where you left.

I am aware of tools like FDM and IDM , but in this case it is of no use as visual studio uses it own tool to download files.
