Custom Zip is not working

[infernape450]

Launcher Version: 1.0.4.3

Operating System: Windows 7

Java Version: 1.7.0_01

Antivirus Program: avast antivirus

Description of Problem:

I am trying to use the new custom zip feature in the recent technic launcher update. I have created a zip file with the mods folder and the mods I am trying to add in that folder. then i used mediafire to share the file. when I type the file into the custom zip box, and clicked login. it just skipped over the url as if it wasn't there. i have tried clearing the cache and that hasn't worked.

Error Messages:

You don't do it that way, what you're supposed to do is make a hard drive accessible from the internet so you can get it to work.

DropBox will not work correctly some of the time too. For best results you will need to stick your file on a website someplace and make a URL to its location.

Same here there is no custom zip URL slot... I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5.... they should really just make a launcher patch that fixes everything it is important... I even reinstalled the Technic Launcher and there was still no custom zip area.

I don't get it because it does seems to be a .zip

Maybe you must name the zip modpack.zip
