Failed to download my custom pack

[GusN]

  I was going to test my newly made modpack for the first time but I got this error message when downloading:

Error downloading file for the following pack: GusN's Mod

 

Failed to download (URL to modpack.zip from Dropbox)

 

Please consult the modpack author.

I had this problem, you have upload your pack into the public folder on dropbox but by default its not there, https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder‎.

• Your modpack link in your pack is not a "direct" download. It must be so in order for the launcher to recognize it.
• You have mods in the "coremods" folder. Forge/MC 1.6.4 does not use a coremods folder. Everything goes in "mods".
• Many (very many) of your mods seem like they are out of date. Might load into 1.6.4, but definitely newer versions exist.
• You aren't including any config files in your pack. In a pack with this many mods, that is most likely fatal.

Thank you, this helped a lot, I fixed the indirect download link and moved all mods from coremods to mods, after loading the modpack once some config files generated. I reloaded the pack and before the title screen there was an error that said to look at ForgeModLoader-client-0.log. After that, the title screen loaded normally and then crashed when I tried to create a new world. Now, when I try to start the pack it crashes back to the Technic launcher before I get to the title screen.

Edit: I installed Numina for ModularPowersuits. I updated almost all of ChickenBones' mods (newer versions were released), Now just to wait for technicpack.net to come back online so that I can test it.

I am having the same error.

 

I checked my link, and unless I'm mistaken, the way you get it is hit "Share Link", exit out of the email window, right-click the download button, and hit "copy link address". I used that for my link.

Also, I re-installed my Technic launcher to make sure, purged my Dropbox, and cleared most of my computer. yet it is still not working. I have made working modpacks before, and have never had this error untill now.
