This is only a chunk

[RelentlessBlue]

The answer might be quite simple, your firewall is blocking the Launcher, if you add it to the exception list it might just work

[Moogle_Maker]

Well sorry to be an idiot but im not very tech savy and dont know how to do that. A little help would be appreciated.

[SeargeantGrit1]

My friend has the same issue, He allowed it on his firewall and still nothing.

Tried basically everthing.. PLEASE HELP!

Sure thing mate.

Basically you open your firewall options and add the Program to the exceptions.^

So this is how you do it,

Since you are using Microsoft AV you are using the Windows default firewall.

here is a simple guide that explains the hole process

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/542-windows-firewall-add-remove-exception.htmlThe link is there because Im to lazy to write it a guide right now

I hope it helps

Sorry for the late answer

i have the same problem and tried the firewall thing but it didnt work because it a jar file.

[NegiMagica209]

I know this doesn't help much, but a similar problem happened on an earlier change to the launcher. I can't remember when, I think it was around March I believe. Some people were having Update Failed issues. As of now my friend is having a similar problem, but I am not, so it's selective. Fortumately, the Technic team had solved the issue last time. Not sure if the mirror performance adjustment has anything to do with it, but it might be related.

Its works for every file/software that requires use of the internet, if you tell me It didn't work I believe, but because of a jar file no its impossible not working, its goes against everything you learn can learn about networks.

The firewall is a gate away to your computer, it control's everything that goes out and inn In order to prevent attacks and such meaning it works for everything. Literally

Probs is thanks to some error in the launchers code I guess

The Mirror theory also can work

[Moogle_Maker]

Thanks for trying to help Relentless but it still it isnt working

[Moogle_Maker]

Negi might be right

[Moogle_Maker]

Thanks for the help i guess because now it has suddenly started working. ? Oh well, just thanks

[RelentlessBlue]

Just like he sed it maybe random

[SeargeantGrit1]

MY friend still has the same issue, I hope this is something Technic team can fix.

Any other suggestions? We've done pretty much everything.

[NegiMagica209]

I have another theory. It may also be the high traffic the launcher gets that effects if and when someone can download it. Of course, this may not be so since the last fix for the launcher fixed this very problem, but it's just a theory.

[Torezu]

what do i do to fix it

Did you happen to look at the two posts above yours before posting this? No? Maybe you should make your own bug report, with all the information requested.

[Praetorian]

Re-downloaing the launcher worked for me.

[hunter6690]
