FTB Direwolf20 1.0.8 Issue

[CookieMonstaa]

So, first off I started Direwolf20 after being gone since Friday, Dec. 27. Direwolf was at 1.0.7 at the time. When I came back, today (Monday, Dec. 30th), Direwolf20 updated itself to 1.0.8. I loaded the usual server and it showed me the list of mods that were outdated. So, I forced update and after a hectic time of it not updating and butthurting me, it finally updated. So, I went on and now I'm getting the error:
Connection Lost
Timed out
This happens to all servers I try to go on and I'm getting very upset :c <-- Much sad face.
I would love some halp. Any questions needed, be sure to ask in comments

I, too, am having issues downloading 1.0.8. The latest recommended mod pack is taking a long time to download, and it gave me an error the first time, the log says "Error downloading modpack!" Anyone else getting this message, and does anyone know of a fix?

Go into Options : Advanced Settings: Change the server from Automatic to whatever server is closer to you.

Thank you, that worked for me.
