Downloading XCode on heavy metered connection

I’m having a trouble downloading xcode for my mac. The problem is my internet connection is heavily metered and I’m only allowed to download a maximum of 4 GB in a month. I thought of trying C++ so I registered as the apple developer program and found the link to xcode.dmg file. The problem is that the file is too large, it’s 1.96 GB in size and my max download speed is 60 KB/s and it would take me days to download.

Can anybody state any alternatives of downloading XCode? I’m thinking of downloading the file by pausing it starting it the other day but is it possible?

Might be worth Googling ‘download managers’. They use to be pretty prolific and useful back in the dial-up days, and enable you to pause and resume. I can’t offer any specific names as it has been years since I used one. Just be wary if you do get one; some appear to be malware &/or adware.
