If you want something more than "express" offers (which is good anyway), try MonoDevelop. It evolved from SharpDevelop, and among other things has nUnit and SVN support built in. Frequent releases and good support. Plus it'll work on a range of operating systems, or you can just host it in a VM if your choice of operating system somehow isn't supported (unlikely).

I also like SharpDevelop. I'm not saying that it's easier than Visual Studio, but i find it very convenient. Indeed, given the fact, that you don't have a fast internet connection it can be even more preferable.

I believe the C# command-line compile (csc.exe) is included with the .NET Framework and recent versions of Windows (not sure of XP). So if you already have the .NET Framework installed, you should not need anything else.

The express editions are free from Microsoft. The default download manager will resume where it ended if the download break due to bad internet connection.

If you don't have internet goto your local library and it is likely they will have internet. Coffee shops and some food places (like ihop) also have good internet.
