Answer 1

The machine fails to properly download the android SDK.

You can confirm this by checking the md5 sum of the file :

wget -O - http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20-linux.tgz | md5sum

This should output : 22a81cf1d4a951c62f71a8758290e9bb

If it doesn't, my first guess would be that you're blocked by some kind of proxy or firewall. A proxy can be configured to limit the maximum size of aa file you're trying to download. Check the logs or contact your sysadmins if you're not the administrator of the machine.

Answer 2

I figured it out!

the problem was some google services are not available where i live due to USA sanctions on my country (Sudan) and the returned response is html (not in gzip format).

the solution is to use vpn.
