Android Studio slow download during setup

Question

I wanted to install Android Studio as I'm new to Android programming but after initial install, it downloads the packages sooooo slowly compared to normal downloads on my home internet.

Things I've tried:

• installing packages through the SDK manager but the download speed is the same, reporting 10KB/s.

• these old answers: Slow SDK download through Android SDK manager

• placing my PC in my routers DMZ

• removing my router to directly connect to my modem

• other compters

Is there a completely offline install for Android studio, like other software (i.e. Google Chrome)? Then I could use a download manager to get it quickly.

Answer 1

Sometimes the slowness is also related to antivirus.

In my case, Java Platform was doing all the download process in the background when using Android SDK Manager.

If someone is experiencing a slow download, an alternative is forcing Android SDK Manager to use http connection and not https.

The download process itself is really annoying, takes forever anyway as we can notice. There should be mirrors for those files to accelerate this download process.

Answer 2

Disable https AND disable use cache solved the problem for me
