Check to see if you are on a metered connection. I had to change my connection to non-metered to allow Lync to install.

yup, your right! this will solve your problem. set your connection to non-meted. :)

How does one do that?

Hi! So, what helped me is giving my computer to a technician who, somehow, got rid of the problem (I didn't tell him about it, I think) and now I have an easier time downloading apps. Check your connection. That might help....
