Launcher gets stuck when "Checking for Minecraft Update."

[Frequenter]

Launcher Version: 1.0.1.3

Operating System: Windows 7 AND Mac OSX 10.7

Java Version: 7u5

Antivirus Program: None.

Description of Problem:

I was getting stuck on the Splash Screen logo, so deleted my .techniclauncher file to start anew. This got me as far as the launcher actually opening up, but when I put in my details to login, it hangs endlessly at the Checking for Minecraft Update section. No progress. Nothing. Just sits tyhere for ages and ages. I've tried allocating more RAM, changing the version I am trying to play, nothing seems to work. Help, please!

Error Messages:

None.

Did you go get a new launcher when you deleted the folder?
