Iron_Miner555 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 When ever I try to open up any of my modpacks it says "error downloading a file for the following pack (in another line it says) please consult with the modpack author" this shows up for every mod pack I try to open. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Moderators Munaus Posted January 14, 2015 Moderators Posted January 14, 2015 which packs, Technic made or custom packs from the Platform?
Iron_Miner555 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 The packs I tried were Hack Slash Mine, EZ Pixelmon, and Tekkit Classic, and I bet any other pack I try to open up will give me the same problem.
Torezu Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Sounds like an antivirus/firewall problem to me. Either said security software needs to be disabled, or some kind of exception/allowance for the launcher needs to be added. Beyond that, go to the Tracker for help with stuff like this.
Iron_Miner555 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 I took down the firewall and then tried to run a modpack but the same thing showed up. Can you think of anything else that might work? I tried downloading it again but this time I opened up the console and this is what it says (I only copied from the part where there was an error and down): [b#211] File version.json not found in C:UsersFamilyAppDataRoaming.technicmodpackstekkitbinmodpack.jar [b#211] Starting download of http://mirror.technicpack.net/Technic/version/1.2.5/1.2.5.json, with 3 tries remaining [b#211] Expected MD5: 8e8778078a175a33603a585257f28563 Calculated MD5: 8e8778078a175a33603a585257f28563 [b#211] Starting download of http://resources.download.minecraft.net/ad/ad7d770b7fff3b64121f75bd60cecfc4866d1cd6, with 3 tries remaining [b#211] Download of http://resources.download.minecraft.net/ad/ad7d770b7fff3b64121f75bd60cecfc4866d1cd6 Failed!

I'm not sure if that will help or not, but hopefully it will.
CanVox Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 That's not our asset, that's mojang's asset. It's a common one, actually- because it has "ad" in the name, some security software believes that it is some shady adware and blocks it. Torezu was correct.
Torezu Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah, it's not just a firewall. Anti-ad/malware software is well known for stopping downloads from working correctly.
Iron_Miner555 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 YES!!! Thank you so much for all the help! I can finally play on the mod packs! I disabled the pop-up blocker and the firewall and it worked! Thanks again!
