Composer: zlib_decode data error

I am facing a problem in my Composer installation. A few days back, it was working fine but now, it gives the following error:

Failed to decode response: zlib_decode(): data error

Retrying with degraded mode, check https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#degraded-mode for more info

The degraded mode doesn't work too. I have searched around the web. Add http-secure config, tried upgrading, tried using composer.phar manually, tried adding repositories property to config but nothing worked.

I am using Windows. composer --version gives:

Composer version 1.0-dev (e8abc90b923250527a2d68712b663f0f41790594) 2016-03-09 11:44:27

I have been facing a similar problem when I was trying to install a package in Laravel. Simply add below lines in composer.json and everything will work like a charm. It helped me hope it helps!

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://packagist.org"
        },
        { "packagist": false }
    ]
