Your the first person that's responded to me to have said this. 
Do you use D at your work anyways? If you require Visual Studio 
at your work, the free community version probably isn't for you 
anyways. If you say it's not your infrastructure, then they might 
very well be blocking the download to your work, knowing that 
it's a business. But I'd say it's more likely not them blocking 
it. Contact IT, if you're even suppose to be installing Visual 
Studio on the computers at work.
