Recorded for posterity.
I saw only a few messages over the network, and everyone suggests using HTTP instead of HTTPS, and there were several ways to do this. None of them discussed Windows only Linux. Well, this did not work for me, and I could not find a way to download the files downloaded to my computer with Windows Vista 64.
So, after a lot of work, I manually downloaded them and made them work. I did this by putting it on a machine that worked and read the repository.xml file and downloaded them.
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/google-apis-4_r02.zip
Unzip it and move the top directory to
android-sdk-window / add-ons
and
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/android-1.6_r02-windows.zip
Then I extracted them and renamed the top directory android-1.6 (this is at least one level below the unpacked directory) and moved it to
platform catalog
Then reboot my machine and it works.
Hope this helps someone.
