LXC: lxc-create hangs when waiting for Distribution selection

Hello there.
To start, I have been able to create LXC containers in the past both through the GUI and shell.

Today I deleted my old containers and am looking to start fresh and create some new ones.

GUI:
Progress spinner spins for a few seconds, then nothing happens. Reading through forum posts, this is a known issue, I will not get into details.

Shell:
lxc-create -t download -n my_first_vm

Result:
Setting up the GPG keyring
Downloading the image index

Distribution:

I am then not able to type anything. I have to ^c to get out of it. I tried adding the -o option to create an error log, but it is not populated. A note, when I visit the luci GUI for LXC Containers while the Distribution prompt is waiting for input, I do see my container name show up in the containers section even though it isn’t created. I would imagine this is expected behaviour based on how that GUI is populated.

|Turris OS version|3.9.3|
|Kernel version|4.4.110-1e4a549d177ab3da12b2052fba6a4dd5-0|

And, after trying again today with the same process copied from above, it now works. No longer hangs. I wonder, perhaps lxc-create was downloading something in the background? We may never know.

root@hostname:/srv/lxc# lxc-create -t download -n my_first_vm
