gradle dependency download terribly slow

[Jelle Victoor]

I'm running bamboo cloud and starting my gradle build like this with a script task

chmod +x gradlew
./gradlew clean build

This works, but the resolution of my depencencies is very slow. the network on the other hand is fast (4MB/sec)

but my log says otherwise for jars of less than a megabyte.

This is the logging from bamboo, note the timestamps

Anyone seen this issue? My build runs perfectly on a server instance (but with the gradle plugin)

Same problem here.  

If I log on to the bamboo agent and directory download a large dependency (hadoop-yarn-api, which is 1.8MB) with wget, it arrives in under 0.02 seconds.  Running gradle from the script task in Bamboo, it sometimes takes several minutes.

However, I think the problem could be to do with Gradle itself, and how long it takes to resolve dependencies.

Have you tried adding the --profile switch to your gradle command, and then creating a new artifact that saves the report (usually it's un build/reports/profile)?
