Bad News: Google kills off free Google Apps
Its very sad that Google is no more providing free Google apps accounts to its users. Not every user use Google Apps from business point of view. Many use it just for family, friends group, some college group etc. They are not using it for any business.

Google Apps customer notice

Hello from Google,
Here's some important news about Google Apps—but don't worry, there's no need for you to take any action. We just want you to know that we're making a change to the packages we offer.
Starting today, we're no longer accepting new sign-ups for the free version of Google Apps (the version you're currently using). Because you're already a customer, this change has no impact on your service, and you can continue to use Google Apps for free.
Should you ever want to upgrade to Google Apps for Business, you'll enjoy benefits such as 24/7 customer support, a 25 GB inbox, business controls, our 99.9% uptime guarantee, unlimited users and more for just $5 per user, per month.
You can learn more about this change in our Help Center or on the Enterprise Blog.
Thank you for using Google Apps.

These 5 downloads are OS independent and for Android API 17. Just put them in "adt-bundle-linux/sdk/temp/" directory or in "temp" directory of Android sdk in windows and easily update the ADT on slow internet connection.
Otherwise the whole adt-bundle (eclipse+sdk) can be compressed and can be transferred from one PC to other having same operating system. It will save downloading time and bandwidth specially on slow internet connections.
