Hi Jra,

From your description, you are encountering some problem when downloading
the VS 2008 PRO from MS site, correct?

As for the VS 2008 PRO, are you downloading it from the MSDN subscriber
download center or is it the trial version on product site?

Based on my checking, the MSDN subscriber currently have two means to
download it, you can try both ways mentioned below:

tudio-2008-downloads-on-top-subscriber-downloads-early-next-week.aspx

Generally, if all the boxes on your side suffer this problem, I suggest you
also check your network environment to see whether there is a common
network gateway that may restricted the size of time limitation for your
connection.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Note: The MSDN Managed Newsgroup support offering is for non-urgent issues
where an initial response from the community or a Microsoft Support
Engineer within 1 business day is acceptable. Please note that each follow
up response may take approximately 2 business days as the support
professional working with you may need further investigation to reach the
most efficient resolution. The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
project analysis and dump analysis issues. Issues of this nature are best
handled working with a dedicated Microsoft Support Engineer by contacting
