Update fails when updating tekkit to 2.1?

[purplechoc72]

when i try to update tekkit to the dev build (2.1) it asks me if i want to update, i click yes, and then it just says "Update failed!"

I've uninstalled AVG, turned off windows firewall and nothing changes it.

this is exclusive to tekkit as far as i can tell because i can download technic versions without a hitch

Edit* it also does this with the Yogbox, and i've now tried deleting my .techniclauncher and reinstalling

temporary install help i got this to work ok this is what i did. firstly i created a new user on my computer it has to be new or it wont work then i downloaded the launcher from the technic pack website and then ran it. after that i downloaded it and it didnt say download failed it actually downloaded it after that to get it on my main user i copyied the .technicpack launcher form %appdata% to a usb or to my main users documents i also copied the launcher. after that i logged off that user went to my main user then i copied the .technicpacklauncher (.techniclauncher) to %appdata% this is not the actual launcher this is the files from the downloaded stuff we got from the other users %appdata%. after its done copying to your %appdata% get the launcher that we also put on the usb and put it on your desktop and launch it.

then select technic pack in the drop down box up in the top corner and login with your account then click the login button and wait for it to start up minecraft it will be white for a couiple of minutes it takes a while so be patient then the mojang screen should pop up and that will take longer so be patient for some more then if its done right it should go to the main menu and your done :) i hope it works for you
