I am trying to install android studio via terminal on Ubuntu 12.04. However, every time the terminal gets to the download, the file download freezes at some point like this screenshot. Sometimes it freezes at 95%. I then have to start all over again. How do I resolve this such that on slight connection drop, the installation doesn't abort/hang. You can clearly see this is the 12th time am trying it from the extension in the download file.

There is no "resume" feature in apt-get (according to man apt.conf) nor does dl.google.com support ftp (which would allow you to manually resume)

So the best you can do is:

  1. to manually download the package from another location (work?) and then cp /mnt/usb /var/cache/apt/archives

  2. set the apt-get time-out to a higher value by gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99apt.conf and entering the following lines into it:

    Acquire::http::Timeout "10";

    Acquire::ftp::Timeout "10";

If the above doesn't make any sense, drop me a note @Fabby.

You might download that file manually. Then you might unzip it, and try to install it using INSTALLION guide.

Ps. then you need to get rid of the trash files: find / -name android-studio-ide-135.1611497-linux.zip
