Unable to Download Modpacks?

[AccioJennifer]

Hello!

For some reason when I downloaded Technic Launcher, I can't download any of the default modpacks. It acts like it is installing & completing installation, but it doesn't actually download. It just leaves me with the two options to either delete the modpack or to install. I looked for an error log and I didn't see one. Here is my system information if you need to know:

MacBook Pro Mid 2012
Version 10.10.3 OS X Yosemite

If you need any other information please let me know.

I'm also having this problem.

Accio, post your log

logs can be found when clicking the Cog-Wheel button on the top right corner on the launcher window.
If you can't open the launcher the logs can also be found inside %appdata% -> Roaming -> .technic -> logs

Paste the content on pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com and give the link.

 

Weliketop, make your own report

I know but there isn't a log. :S

 

Edit: I went in my console and found this, not sure if it will help. http://pastebin.com/67eF6k4X

a log should be created the moment you start the launcher. Are you telling me the logs folder is empty?

I gave the wrong pathway.

If you can't open the launcher the logs can also be found inside "User Name" -> Library -> Application Support -> techniclauncher -> logs
This is the path on Mac

This is from my console log of technic launcher, would this help? I didn't get an actual text document as I normally would: http://pastebin.com/67eF6k4X

[Munaus]

did you copy that log after you tried installing a pack? All I see on the log is a warning that tells the files aren't there, but not why

[AccioJennifer]

Yeah. I went ahead though and uninstalled and reinstalled it and this is what I got next time: http://pastebin.com/5q7iK0hc

[SEVERE] java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 47: file:///Users/username/Library/Application Support/technic/logs/

why it is showing an error to the logs is beyond me...

what java do you have installed?

Do you have any security software (antivirus, firewall) that could block the launcher? There are some aggressive ones that can block without notifying the user

[AccioJennifer]

I have the latest java installed (Java 8 I believe) and I have Avast for anti-virus.

[Munaus]

I've used Avast in the past and it worked great.

Try disabling it, just to be sure, and start the launcher and install a modpack (preferably a Technic modpack - Tekkit, Hexxit or Attack of the B-team)

[AccioJennifer]

Yes it worked! Thank you so much for your help.

Why have you betrayed us Avast!?
