Visual Studio for Mac 2017 - Can't add MVC nuget packages

Question

I've created a new project using the ASPNET Core template in Visual Studio for Mac. 

I can run the default project fine, but when I add reference to "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc" or any of the other MVC related packages, they fail to install under OSX :( I get "failure has occurred while downloading a type" during the HTTP GET for most of the nuget packages when the restore happens (https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/microsoft.extensions.caching.memory/1.1.0/microsoft.extensions.caching.memory.1.1.0.nupkg for example).
