Question posted in 
I am experiencing an issue with Android Studio where the download progress is not being displayed. Despite waiting for over 20 minutes, the status remains stuck on “Preparing,” and no progress bar or percentage is shown. This makes it difficult to determine if the download is proceeding or if it has stalled. I have verified my internet connection and restarted Android Studio, but the problem persists

Just give it time; Depending on your download speed it could take a while.
It once took ~1 hour to do so for me.
Very annoying that there’s no progress indicator.
Just grab a cup of tea and do something else in the meantime…
Please, Just be patient; the process can take some time depending on your internet speed. I once experienced a download that took almost two hour. It’s a bit inconvenient without any way to track the progress.
