Now the first issue I got however that no Docker images were being downloaded , i just kept getting i/0 timeout errors . Figureout that something might be blocking the images being downloaded.
A simple googling provided a rapid answer that the problem had to do with Cisco Connect Anywhere , if you have it installed either you need to exit it ( and close from system tray ) or you can follow the instructions from this stackoverflow query:

Sure enough once Cisco Connect Anywhere was closed i was able to download the image.
