How to download Visual Studio Community Edition 2017 (not 2019)

Question

I installed the new Visual Studio 2019, but it is much slower (at least in my machine) than the 2017 version, and working is getting very frustrating. I want to get back but I can't find where to download the previous version.

I tried using this URL: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/, but it doesn't work. I get the following message "Sorry, we couldn't find any downloads for you."

Thanks.

The Microsoft site can be induced to give up different versions.

See: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=15

Change the '15' to 16, and 17 and see what you get.
