Is there an easier way to get Xcode from apple, other than paying to create an account at apple ?? A torrent perhaps ?? found some but they were all dead.

I'm pretty sure it does not cost money to get Xcode. I created a free account to get a copy for my computer at school; it was little hassle at all. Are you sure that they charge for it now?

The smallest i saw was 99$ for an account creation . .

then you are very, very mistaken, the account creation is free, but it is a pain in the butt to create it. (too much stuff to click on). And Xcode is also included on the Panther CD (OS X 10.3)

Apple Developer Connection. It's truly free to sign up and get Xcode.

It is free to get Xcode tools and new account. I have a Apple acount and Xcode tools, and I don't pay for this.

Sorry for my English.

Also, besides the free accout, if you really like to develop software, for the student ADC account, they will mail you CDs when xcode revisions come out, along with ADC updates.

I believe you can get a Developer Tools CD from an Apple store for free... if you live near one.

The people involved here have probably already figured out that there's been a confusion between a .Mac account and an Apple Developers Connection account, but for anyone who comes along later here's an explanation. .Mac costs $$ and a dev account is free for the bottom line and there's lots of free stuff to download or you can pay for a slightly better account and get goodies like the Tiger Developers Pre-Release.
