This seems to have fixed the problem entirely. Thank you for your help.

It turns out with my specific router this feature cannot be turned off. Is there a version.json that I could download and add manually? Or does my computer specifically need to generate it? Either that or I buy a new router.

Thank you for your help CanVox, appreciate it.

Thank you. I'm just glad to finally see a proper response after reading countless forum posts on the matter. Any advice on how I could work around this with my router?

Here is the version.json from the Hexxit modpack. https://www.dropbox.com/s/n32zdx54cmustlk/version.json

Launcher Version: 285 - 322 Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Java Version: Version 7 Update 45 Antivirus Program: avast! antivirus Description of Problem: When I press the launch button after logging into the launcher, it tries to extract or something (progress bar seems to do something), but abruptly stops and does nothing. Repeated tries, as well as multiple clean installs of the launcher, java, Minecraft, and antivirus has done nothing. Antivirus and firewalls have been turned off. Tried different memory amounts, different versions of modpack and launcher, as well as logging in with a Mojang email account as well as a Minecraft username account. I also have both the 32 and 64-bit versions of java installed. The packs seem to install fine, but afterwards never lets me launch them. The only pack I have noticed that lets me launch is Tekkit Classic. It's also worth noting that last time I used the launcher (Summer 2013) it worked flawlessly, problem has arisen since then. Error Messages: No error messages given, just doesn't do anything after launch is pressed.

Hey, I think I'm having this problem as well. Would you mind specifying which .zip file was corrupted and how you "fixed" it? Thanks! :D
