Starter project takes forever to load!

I've noticed this with a few other application files I've downloaded from the internet, but when I try to open this colorizer starter project, it doesn't actually load it, just says 'Building 'Colorizer-master' Gradle project info' And it hangs at that for a long time.

My computer's processing power isn't the issue as it's a big desktop with gaming-grade hardware.

I went onto stack overflow and found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29391421/android-studio-gradle-takes-too-long-to-build

And enabled 'Offline work', but it still didn't fix this issue.

However, I did try this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39803853/android-studio-2-2-stuck-at-building-gradle-project-info-on-importing-existing-p

And removed the Gradle files and it worked! But I don't want to do this everytime I download an android studio project from the internet... are there any other better solutions?

Thanks, James
