android studio unable to access android sdk,First run of Android Studio. Unable to access Android SD...

After trying to reinstall Android Studio, everything was fine until the first run.

While it was 'fetching Android SDK component information', it gave me an error saying:

Unable to access Android SDK add-on list

I clicked on Setup proxy, clicked on Auto-detect proxy settings, checked my connection (it said 'connection successful') then pressed ok. After that it just came up with the same error. No progress.

Any ideas on what I can do next?

I have no experience with proxy, so I only used Auto-detect proxy settings to stay simple.

PS. I've searched, but all I can find is to go behind the proxy, but I don't have the permissions to edit idea.properties.

I'm using Windows 8.1 32 bit.
