Why Visual Studio?

[Clanscorpia]

Why does Visual Studio 2015 Community take so long to download? I need it to start working on my fan controller program (If someone could give me some guides on sending and recieving info from a USB device in C++ that would be sweet ) and it's taken 12 hours to repair itself (Third time after cancelling in the middle of update 1 (biggest update ever so far) .....  ) because it was missing some API's and libraries and a ton of SDK kits for C++ development. I have a 50 megabyte up and down (I <3 Cogeco) but it still takes ages. Why does it do this? This is an Microsoft product, usually they download quite fast.

Thats all for you? Lucky, all my API's use up about 150 Gigs not including all the stuff I need to download for the USB drivers and other programs. Close to 200 now

12 GB for just C# and C++... 

12000 MB / 50 MB = 12000 / 100 * 2 = 1200 * 2 = 2400 Seconds = 40 Minutes

Still 12 hours? It's mostly just the C++ and Windows libraries. Probably 30 Gigs.
