Android Studio 3.4 gradle sync

Question

I am getting the below error when creating a new project in Android Studio 3.4 during gradle sync. There is not much information to the error except from the build log below. Even after trying to sync gradle files again i still get the error.

What could be the possible solution and how can i solve it?

Android Studio 3.4 is still in canary release. This is not the stable release

In the error log,

Premature end of Content-Length delimited message body (expected: 30853792; received: 3407856

this is a network issue. You may manually download the builder-3.4.0-alpha09.jar file with URL https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/builder/3.4.0-alpha09/builder-3.4.0-alpha09.jar , and save it into <path/to/Android_Studio/installation>/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/builder/3.4.0-alpha09/builder-3.4.0-alpha09.jar .

As for Maven repository, you may need to download builder-3.4.0-alpha09.pom , builder-3.4.0-alpha09-javadoc.jar , and builder-3.4.0-alpha09-sources.jar as well, and put them all inside the same directory.
