Hey all, having a little trouble getting the launcher to work. I click on the button, to get it started and the "Please wait while modpacks are being loaded" message appears. The modpacks never load. I looked and saw this code on the code screen and am wondering what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not that I know of, I do use Norton Internet Security, but it tells me if it blocks things and it says "FTB-Launcher is safe and secured" so it shouldn't be blocking it...
 
Could you locate the menu called "security history" in norton and look trough the logs there to see if you can find anything related?
Or try disabling it for a moment and then running the launcher?
 
Sorry for not responding, but.. I got on a user without Norton enabled, and the modpacks loaded, but right when it loaded it froze...
 
Norton sometimes has a problem being turned off, try uninstalling it then downloading and running for the first time.
 
I can provide a list of reasons why avast! is a better anti-virus, but that's about all I can do.
Try allowing the program, disabling norton, then running the launcher as admin?

Edit:
there's a lot that can cause your error (java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect)
But before going into the more involved fixes (also far less common) I need to rule out Norton. Or any other firewalls you may be behind.
 
Lets try a fix from another thread.
Make a folder directly in the C drive and name it FTB, download the exe launcher from the FTB site and place it in the folder.
Now make a new text document (txt) and open it in notepad.
Copy the following into that file.
Code: 
mkdir C:\FTB
"C:\program files\java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx1G -jar C:\FTB\ftb_launcher.exe
Then rename the file to FTB.bat and try to run it.
