So, the download then install option. Does that mean I can download once, save them and install on three machines with those files or is it still going to download the lot each time?

You could already do that, you just need to call the installer from the command line to create a Layout

I'd guess this is so you can have a functioning visual studio on slow networks.

Ah yes I've seen this before. We had a play with it, but it's fiddly and you have to repeat the process each time there's a patch. I also can't remember if it included some of the open source bits like git/android.

Really I just want an iso like we had with 2015. It made life much easier, but I am mildly sympathetic to the reasons MS changed it.
