Windows .exe Error Downloading Modpack - FTBLite2

[websterhamster]

Hi there, I was trying to download the FTBLite2 modpack, but I was getting the Error Downloading Modpack problem. So, I followed the best advice I could find here, which was to do a clean reinstall of FTB and Java.

After reinstalling FTB, I still can't download FTBLite, it gets to a certain point and then stops downloading and an error message pops up. Here's the log in Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/gu1XkwM5

EDIT: According to status.feed-the-beast.com, all the repositories are offline. Without further information, I'll have to assume that this is the cause of my problem.

Make sure that your av/firewall is not blocking either java or the ftb launcher. If it is then add and exception to the FTB folder, include sub folders as well, to your av/firewall.

You could also try downloading the pack from a different location by changing it in the advanced options section of the launcher by setting it to the closest location to you.

It's not being blocked, it's downloading to a certain point and then giving me the error. And I checked to make sure that I have enough disk space.

As for the download location thing, I have it set to Los Angeles, which is closest to me, and it didn't make a difference.

There maybe a problem at their end I would wait and try again later.

I just tried it again. It stops at exactly 19879kb into the download.

Try deleting the ftb folder from the roaming folder.

That folder doesn't exist in Windows XP, only Vista and newer.

It works now, I just had to add the launcher to the Avast! global exceptions list. I had been shutting down the shields and had added the install folder to the exceptions, but I didn't realize I also had to do that to the launcher.

I've never had a problem like this with Avast! antivirus before, this is definitely new territory for me.
