Android SDK Install Packages Error

Question

I've been digging for hours over this, can someone please break it down in to basic newbie military grunt (what I am, currently deployed) terms cause I promise I'm not the only one that will benefit from it.

So you guys are saying to use a Proxy server under SDK-Tools and turn the Fetch option ON.

Well I'm using Chrome and only thing I found about a proxy is setting one up, requiring me to enter an IP address. I got mine from CMD-ipconfig. Got that and saw in the Chrome Settings of "setting up a proxy" with a spot for an IP Add and a Port said 80 even though it was grey out. I select to use Proxy, enter the IP Add from the CMD and using Port 80.

I go to my SDK Manager, Tools- HTTP- "My IP Add."; Port- 80 and Select Fetch.

I select the whole folder of Version 4.4, Google USB Drivers, Support Library and Android SDK Platform tools. I pretty much didn't touch anything other than Version 4.4 Folder. Click Install Packages.

It finished and only gave me two things out of the Version 4.4 Folder and Support Library. No Google USB Drivers.

If I leave that IP Add and Port in the Slots and uncheck the Fetch Option, I get:

Done. Nothing was installed.

What is going on in there?

I am so eager to start working on the Android, but it has been nothing but issues, since I've downloaded the SDK bundle.

Please Help, I'm just a military guy who designs games in Unity and wants to try to put them on the Android.

Smarter people than me please lend me some words of your wisdom.

Not sure if this is the solution for your exact case, but recent sdk manager versions may need admin rights to install packages.

1) Program Files (x86) > Android > android-studio > sdk >

2) right click on SDK Manager.exe and run as admin

3) try installing your packages now
