Hi,
2 days ago, I opened a project which required an older version of Gradle. Now, gradle does not work anymore - for no project. It always says:
Gradle sync failed: Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip'.
Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log) (2 s 463 ms)

Or on the build window:
Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip'.

In the log file:

I did already:
- clean
- Invalidate caches and restart
- delete .gradle
- Update everythin in the SDK manager
- checked internet connection - is ok
- checked the mentioned download link - works
- checked, if directory is writable - works

Nothing helped. What am I doing wrong?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
