1) Your Internet connection speed is fast enough (512kps)

2) What offline version of aiStarter?      How you load AI2 is described here:  http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/setup.html 

3) You appear to be trying to use AI2, the standard compiler via your browser.  Since you are using Windows, Chrome or Firefox browser are best.   You cannot use Explorer. Explorer is incompatible with AI2.

4) Are you trying to use AI Classic?    It is not clear from your post or are you trying to use one of the personal servers like AILiveComplete?

5) Here is a link to help fix aiStarter issues:  http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/aistarter-help.html

6) Here is a general trouble shooting link:  http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/support/troubleshooting.html 

7) Be aware, that unlike Eclipse and Android Studio, AI2 does NOT require JAVA.

8) Frequently the easiest way to FIX AI2 is to delete the installed files ... they are probably here on your PC:  C:\Program Files (x86)\AppInventor\   Use the uninstall.exe   Then, restart your PC and follow the install instructions of AI2.

9) For most people, the online version of AI2 works very well.   If you are having difficulty compiling, loading projects the issue may be your AI2 code issues and not necessarily your Internet speed.

Try some of the suggestions mentioned above.   If you get working, please let us know.   If you do not get working, tell us what you tried and someone will make more suggestions.

Regards,

Steve

Thank you very much Steve.

I am using AI 2.1 installer and i am beginner so in my first project i want to make a cool chat app having ability to send text message in realtime and in pro i am planning to add some stickers and calling facility (audio and video call that use slow internet to work properly)

Do you have any good link to download AI installer that works fine ? 

I am using chrome for my wok . First i think this is similar to all other sdk but soon i know this is much easier way to start making apps ,

Thanks ,

http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/windows.html  the instructions.   That has the download link.  which I reporduce here:   https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/mitappinventortest/nZeGiFXGbt4              the downloadt is 92 MB and presently is called AppInventor_Setup_Installer_v2_2.exe     

Did you find it?

Yes you can send text messages with AI2.

Before you begin this project, I suggest you try the tutorials here:  http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html    and read the free online book here:    http://www.appinventor.org/book2   The links to the online chapters are at the bottom of the Web page.
