Error when compiling for the first time

I have some problems with gradle when compiling a project for the first time:

Starting build…
Creating Idea project model…

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

As those files it complains about can be downloaded just fine right here, right now, I’d guess there is one of two causes.

Either it was a temporary hickup, just try it again, maybe with --refresh-dependencies if Gradle still remembers that it did not find them.

If it still fails with “403 Forbidden” errors, you most probably have some firewall, proxy, or virus scanner, that blocks your downloads.
