The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.— NuGet

Question

Whilst trying to restore nuget packages I am getting the following:-

Error 1 The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.<

Answer 1

A quick fix for Visual Studio 2015 users is to change the URL from https to http. I have a feeling that this may not work if the package has a https license file.

Alternatively, switch to Visual Studio 2013 for package installation and updates.
