Anybody gotten the Xamarin Visual Studio offline package builder to work? I tried in the office and at home and can't get it to complete the process. Always fails out.

You aren't alone. In the Macadmins Slack team there was some discussion and it turns out it seems to be failing for others too. Here's my error after downloading 18+ GB:

[2017-05-10 18:35:37.419] [Exception] System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: /Users/cmcintosh/Library/Caches/XamarinInstaller/Universal/downloads/repository-10.xml does not exist

Unfortunately there's no Visual Studio channel so we're limited on forums to complain to unless you sign up for a Microsoft account and post comments on their instructions page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/create-offline-installer
