  • How did you determine that Android Studio wasn't using any bandwidth? Hopefully, you used something other than Task Manager to determine that.

  • Is this the first time you've used AS since downloading and installing it? AS is a major resource hog and it does have to download a LOT of stuff in addition to the initial install, but most of the downloads are when you go through the SDK/setup options and decide which libraries you want to use. For what it's worth, once you get past the initial downloads I doubt it uses much bandwidth at all, but the other resources, RAM/disk space, are massive. Commented Aug 6, 2018 at 15:32
  • I have been using AS forever now, so no, it's not the first time at all... It's not downloading anyhing else, at least according to it. Commented Aug 6, 2018 at 15:33

    Was Android Studio using the same disk as the download? Could be that it might be doing something which is making the downloader wait to access the disk and slowing it down that way.
