I think there's someone at microsoft who gets paid based on how many domains a given download goes through.
I clicked a download on microsoft.com, typed my email into microsoftonline.com, my password into live.com, and ended up downloading from visualstudio.com

@foone You haven't reached the maximum yet; that would've been if you'd downloaded an 'online installer' from visualstudio.com which then itself downloaded the actual application from vsdelivery.azure.net or some shit like that (no idea whether that host really exists but it probably does, it seems like a very Microsoft thing to do)
@joepie91 I was actually using that installer to update my VS2022 at the same time
