I’ve recently had this error when trying to update the AVD within Eclipse.

Failed to fetch URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Server redirected too many times (20)

There’s also a bug report with the same issue, http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5944.

It turns out that AVD was caching my proxy settings from when I connected from work, the only way I could see to remove them was to open the file called androidtool.cfg which on Windows XP is located at C:\Documents and Settings\USER\.android\.

Simply edit the lines referring to proxy settings to remove the port and server address.
