Visual Studio Community Edition is a free version of Visual Studio, don't see why you can't just use that. but if you absolutely don't want to use it, i assume you can use Cygwin-g++ or MinGW instead..

not enough bandwidth? are you on a monthly bandwidth quota or something, or is your download speed just very slow?

do you have a laptop? can you just go to the nearest library and download it there?both
(at least in Norway, all libraries have a free public wifi, also what country are you in?)

.. that's just the download manager. it let you choose which components of VS Studio you want installed, and then it will download & install those.i live in africa so the rest is known
the link u gave me seems not that large , u used it befor?
(VS Studio has tons of components, and if you install ALL of them then it's very big indeed. but if you ONLY install c++ support, i think it's closer to 2GB)

you don't need any of these to compile forgottenserver
- in addition, you technically don't need the "Just-In-Time debugger", but if you ever want to debug custom c++ code, you should probably have it anyway.
also, i think you don't need the Win10 SDK, but i'm not 100% sure =/ anyone else knows?

well then i'm out of ideas.
i suppose you can ask a friend which doesn't have a bandwidth limit to download it and mail it to you on a DVD or USB stick, if you have one. - offline installers (suitable for putting on a DVD/usb stick) can be created, per Create an offline installation - Visual Studio (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/create-an-offline-installation-of-visual-studio?view=vs-2019)
(but at that point it would probably be better to mail a full linux VM with the complete compiler environment set up, and the VM installer (virtualbox? VMWare?), then you'd know 100% that you'll be able to compile it when it arrives, and you're not lacking large dependencies like boost-iostream and boost-whatever libraries which forgottenserver also needs)
