由于下载依赖项错误，导致Gradle刷新失败

Question

I upgraded android studio to v2.3 and then while trying to update the support repositories, I lost internet connection and I can't understand what to do.

I get the following error in Messages box

Gradle 'Pets' project refresh failed
Error:Error:Failed to open zip file.
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)

On one site it said to delete the file in .gradle/cache but I couldn't understand what to delete. I've tried clicking on the link to re-download dependencies but I get the same message.

Could anyone please help?

Thank you!

I solved the problem by manually downloading the zipped file from https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip and then replacing the automatically downloaded zipped file in .gradle with it. Then I started Android Studio and it automatically downloaded and installed the required components.
