Okay, I tried downloading it on Google Chrome, Opera, IE, Safari, and even Dolphin on my tablet. All of them failed, it may be the internet. I'm going to use my phones broadband connection and see if that works. Edit: Okay, it works on my phone using my broadband connection. It must be my school's d*** internet. Sorry for wasting your time, is there any workaround to this?

Okay I got rid of Version 7 and installed version 6. I've gone ahead and updated the log, I skimmed over it but it looks like nothing has changed, except it says I am using V6 now.

Well I do not actually have a Mac, I'm using a PC. I think you may have posted on the wrong thread. I have read, however, that some people think it is Java 7 that is causing the problem. Do you think it would help if I nuked Java and downgraded to Java 6? (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp)

Oh yes, that is true. Could it be possible it is simply my internet that is causing the problem? When I attempt to download the Jar from the download page (http://mirror.technicpack.net/files/technic-launcher-latest.jar) I get sent to this error page: if it is indeed my internet that is causing this problem, is there a workaround?

Touche, but I don't usually browse shifty websites. As for Java I used to only have the 64 bit version and I installed the 32 bit later to see if that made any difference, it did not. However, for the sake of redundancy I went ahead and uninstalled 32 bit and re-tried, while having only the 64 bit version installed, once more and there was no change, still stuck on the splash screen. I know nothing of Java so disregard this if I am wrong here, but are you sure it is not the launcher itself that is flawed?

Launcher Version: 1.0.2.0 Operating System: Windows 7 x64 ver 6.1.7600 Java Version: Java 7 update 9 x64 and x32 Antivirus Program: None (I trust myself enough to not download viruses) Description of Problem: On launching the executable (admin or not) It loads up until it reaches the splash screen and freezes. I have to taskkill it to make it go away. I have also tried running the jar file itself but to no avail. It has worked once previously, up to the point where it would begin downloading the mods and fail. I have spent an exhaustive amount of time scouring the forums and questions before posting; and simply trying to work it out myself, but have not found a solution that works yet. I am not entirely sure, however, that I have the most up to date launcher. The technic pack download page is failing and I can not download anything from it. EDIT: For clarification, when it says: "Is 64-bit: 'false'" that must have been when I was attempting to use the 32 bit version of Java to see if that made any difference.
