Technic launcher broken?

[pr_justin]

Hey i just started up my launcher about an hour ago to play Voltz and it came up with "error trying to retrieve pack" so i went to do tekkit, which loaded just fine. shut down the launcher to try voltz again, no luck. deleted my build folder in appdata to start fresh. now, absolutely no modpacks are downloading, the log file says it cant bring up the news, and i'm unable to manually add new modpacks, they all say "error parsing platform response"

is anybody else having any issues like this?

so, i'm am not an expert, but i think this should go in launcher issues.....
