Microsoft has released 5 'Express Editions' of Visual Studio.

Each download weighs in at right around 50MB and features tools, documentation, and starter kits.
 
Humm ... I was gonna say this was a repost, but it looks like you beat Spoofee by 1 minute ;)

Way to go ... none the less one of the moderators should probably merge the two posts.
 
Tried downloading these after hours at work, but the installers don't work with the proxies. Once the download had failed they offered to send an error report to MS, I read the report and it said that the reason for failure was the proxy required login.

It could tell that was the problem, but it couldn't give me the option to enter the proxy login, hmmmm. Oh well, it's just a beta. So I try it over dial-up at home.

Big files so I leave it running all day while I'm at work. Seems to download just fine, but errors occured again after the files were finished downloading, something about not being able to verify the file size. Thankfully it downloaded the files to a temporary installation directory in the Local Settings folder.

So... if anybody happens to need (or want) a copy of all the files necessary with labels and a list with the order to install them all correctly. I could burn it all to a CD and ship it to them for a dollar (paypal - or whatever it takes to cover expenses, I'm on a student budget so I can't really afford to do this for free). Just send a message to [email protected] with Visual Studio 2005 in the subject line. US orders only please.
