I don't believe this is a bug, possibly just an error on my part, but I'd like to know what could cause my launcher to be unable to connect to minecraft.net

Is the website down? Could it be an issue with my connection to minecraft.net? "Oh Noes! Our Tumblr Feed is Down!" is where the feed usually is. If anyone has had this happen before, I'd appreciate some guidance before starting my troubleshooting routine. If it helps, I'm running on 64-bit Windows 7.

I did nothing, and now 20 minutes after my first attempt at playing I am able to see the correct content on the launcher. Though I would still like to know what could cause it to happen :)

this is usually a firewall/anti-virus problem.

I'm using Avast!, SUPERAntiSpyware, and MALEwarebytes and have never experienced this problem before. All of the permissions have stayed the same and I haven't received any updated for anything. /shrug Oh well

[freakachu]

if you updated the launcher, or sometimes java, that is usually where the problem starts. also, lol MALEwarebytes. sounds like some kind of edible underwear for men. (there's no E in malware)

The icon had an 'e' in it when I originally downloaded it a few years ago, I've always found it amusing, so with every update I kept it around. Little things that bother my husband make amusements even better!
