"I know it says it cant run media fire"

If you know this, then why are you trying to use it when you are experiencing exactly what happens when you do? That's like saying "I know I can't run my gasoline engine on diesel fuel, but I'm going to try it anyway" and then being surprised when the car won't run. Use copy.com or DropBox.

  • Your /bin/modpack.jar is in RAR format. All archive files intended to be used in the platform must be in ZIP format only. The contents of the file are also in a subfolder. You shouldn't be messing with the contents of the Forge JAR in any way. Simply download the Forge universal binary JAR file and rename it to modpack.jar.
  • You have the MC 1.8 version of iChunUtil. You need the latest 4.x version of the mod to be compatible with 1.7.10.

Address these issues and come back if you still have troubles.

I followed your advice and it led me to this   Error downloading a file for the following pack: Fuzzy's Pack Failed to download https://copy.com/mlUJ8VQzI4nEhG0R/modpack.zip?download=1  Please consult the modpack author     http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/fuzzys-pack      or     http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/fuzzys-pack.693154

The file extension is arbitrary. You could name your file "modpack.potato" and it would work fine as long as the compression algorithm was ZIP and not RAR. Whatever program you are using to compress the archive has options which allow you to set in which format the archive should be created.
