Gradle could not download a dependency

Hello everyone. I run a React Native android project. the build process failed due to the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
   > A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-edge-to-edge'.
      > Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':react-native-edge-to-edge:classpath'.
         > Could not find gradle-8.1.1.jar (com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.1).
           Searched in the following locations:
               https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/8.1.1/gradle-8.1.1.jar

but when I open the https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/8.1.1/gradle-8.1.1.jar link in a browser, the file will be downloaded successfully. any idea?

gradlew --version output:

This most often means you either have some Firewall or AntiVirus intervening, or you need to use a Proxy to talk to the outworld but did not configure Gradle to use it.

Running with --refresh-dependencies and --info or --debug might give more hints.

The --refresh-dependencies option, solved my problem. Thank you so much @Vampire
