Download .iso files faster

windows-7 iso-image proxy-server

In my university, they have restricted the download speed for some file mime types such as (.mp3, .wmv, .avi, .flv, .iso) I wanted to download Visual Studio 2013 standalone .iso file. But I hate the slow. Are there any ways to boost the download. Are there any ways to changes the file extension and download.


There is no way to change the file extension of the download. You can use a proxy service however I would imagine the restriction is done on your network so that will not help - basically you will still be downloading ISO file but from a different destination.

So you got 2 options

1) try Microsoft's download manager - not only it uses CDN I also think it downloads as a different file until it is complete, than it changes it to ISO. For VS 2013 use this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40763

2) Download it as a zip from unofficial source
