When visiting https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/ I get an error, 500 Internal Server Error.
I'm assuming this may be the problem.

Whenever trying to install Visual Studio, I can't download a lot of files because it "can't download the file" from the url above.

    Hi, @steve

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    You said "Whenever trying to install Visual Studio", do you mean that Visual Studio could not download from the url you provided, or Visual Studio Installer could not download workloads?

    Please click this link to download Visual Studio. If you encounter issues when installing Visual Studio, feel free to let me know.

    Sincerely,
    Peng
