Slow internet connection (2G) is a headache

Question

I want to work/learn on MVC razor engine using my personal system so I need MVC3 with VS 2010. I am going to install MVC3 on my system then I find out that I need VS 2010 SP1 for it. After that I go to install VS 2010 SP1 from web platform installer and it takes long time (may be more than one day according to my internet connection) so I cancelled it.

Now I have an option to download an iso file of VS2010 SP1 so I can install it offline but its size is 1.5 GB.

My internet connection download speed is 15kb/sec. so total download will take time ~31 hrs.

Can anyone please tell /help me that I have any option to install MVC3 on my system?

hi Any microsoft product has Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker from this sticker you can identify whether the product is genuine or not. also you can cll to microsoft Call center to check product is genuine (from the product key) you can also purchese MS product online (from Microsoft Store). http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008RW3XIO http://www.aditicomputers.com/developers-software/Visual-Studio-2012-Professional.aspx Crack means Pirated software.

Sorry It is too costly I can't purchase it now. I need more saving for it. I am thinking that I should take a broadband connection for a month that cost will be 650 INR after that try to install VS2010 SP1 beacuse my VS 2010 is genuine. Whenever I will be able to pruchase VS 2012 then defenatily prushase it. Thanks
