Can't launch games

[NeoPariah]

Launcher Version: 253

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.8.3

Java Version: 1.6.0

Antivirus Program: None

Description of Problem:

The launcher will not launch games. The Login button depresses for a while, then I get the error "Error retrieving information for selected pack: Hexxit", with similar errors from other packs.

Judging from the log and the fact that I can't surf to it, it appears solder.technicpack.net is either failing to respond or throwing HTTP 502 errors.

Error Messages:

Error retrieving information for selected pack: Hexxit

Error Log:

Delete Technic Folder

Relaunch, hit the gearbox in the top right.

Select Use Beta Builds, Increase Ram to 2 Gb, Check Increase PermGen Size.

The it'll prompt you to restart the launcher. After it relaunches wait for all the packs to finish loading. Then launch Hexxit

This issue resolved itself a few hours later. I'd also encountered it when booted into Windows. Since no one else reported it, I'd guess there was some weird networking glitch between here and there that was making the server respond improperly. It'd be nice if this error didn't prevent the launch of what one already has downloaded, though.
