My Android Studio couldn’t download gradle 8.6 Reason: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out. i checked the link [Gradle 8.6 download link](https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.6-bin.zip), and the site isn’t responding, tried to go through official website to download and its the same, other sites works fine, my internet works fine, android studio downloads other components fine…pls is this issue from my side or is it from gradle server

I just downloaded from the link you posted without any problem, so I’d tend to say it is something on your side.
