That wouldn't be nice. I rather suspect, though, that it may simply be that that partciular gradle release is no longer available.

I think you said that you're using version 4.4.1 of gradle. Is that right? If so, can you also tell me which version of the AGP (Android Gradle Plugin) you're using? Once I know both version numbers, I'll try building brltty with them, and, if it works, I'll make that change.

I'm wondering if you perhaps didn't run ./autogen and ./cfg-android in the top-level build directory. Those two steps still do need to be performed.

So it doesn't seem to be a download issue. It must be something else.

>** Where:Script
>'/home/pactos6/tmp_projects/brltty/Android/Gradle/brltty-help.gradle' line:
>36*

That's a line that absolutely should work.

tasks.register() should work.

Not that I can see. And, yes, I do see that you're indeed running autogen and cfg-android. I don't think you need the export PATH bit (cfg-android should be setting PATH correctly) so you might try not doing that.
