There is an issue on that... I also got the same result on my Mac.

In the meantime, you can do it manually by creating a new project in the Console, building a blank image and flashing it into a microSD card. Then follow the setup instructions.

In order to build an image click on the project's model ID (see the picture below) and follow the configuration steps.

Once built, the image can be downloaded.

These default images and tools are not longer available. You can now only flash your device using factory images for your console product.

I would also recommend reviewing the latest information on the FAQ page to learn more about the Android Things platform status.
