I have the same problem... nobody here knows a cure for that? other than downloading the cd image?
If you are able to download the CD image and make a CD-ROM, that is a much better solution. First, you can reinstall easily if you every need to. Also, if you don't install everything the first time, it is always possible to refresh from the CD image when you want more. (The MSDN Help included with VC++ 2005 Express Edition is extremely useful compared to not having it.)
Finally, you can download the CD image as a normal (non-administrative) user and only be administrator to do the installation, which works whether or not you are online.
I have the same recommendations for downloading the Windows Platform SDK as well.
