Can confirm. Have had to download the full VS 2022 Pro over a shit wifi connection at work 55GB. It took half a day then failed. Re run the command to recheck every package and get the missing / broken ones and it is a single threaded app so it takes forever computing file hashes on one thread.

In the end it took around 7.5 hours.

What workloads did you download fit it to be that big?

Everything. It's going on a network not connected to the internet so I don't want to exclude something and have go through the faff of getting extra bits that end up being needed.

Fair enough! Not terribly surprised about the size then, though - there's a lot of stuff VS can do. When limited to just a few workloads you need the size isn't unreasonable in my opinion though.
