A firewall is likely blocking minikube from reaching the internet. You may need to configure minikube to use a proxy.
Please see: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/http_proxy.md

friendly ping @saravanaprasaths - did the proxy help with your issue?

Had this issue too due to crappy connectivity in China.
It would be best if it can auto-resume a failed download. Currently it starts from scratch.
Also, if you want to download manually (always a good option) and then provide the ISO it's unclear where to place it. To save anyone else doing this time, please be aware you have to place it in ~/.minikube/cache/iso/.
However, it will want to download a bunch more files so basically you are stuck with supplying a proxy or having patience for its brittle download implementation. Sigh.
