FTB for Minecraft Clean install OSX Mavericks

[Solamar]

Ugh. I give up. I have read everything I can. I have replaced lwjgl-2.9.1. I have done a CLEAN FTB install. Nothing works to get the list of packages. Read on.

Operating System, bit type: OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 64 Bit
Java version/update, bit type:
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

Launcher version: Just downloaded it: FTB 1.3.4
Completed the troubleshooting guide (y/n): y
Console log, pastebin.com link: http://pastebin.com/CZHppuma
Description of the problem:

OK So I am trying to start from scratch. I have a new directory, and got a new FTB launcher. I have read all about how to get the lwjgl-2.9.1 for Java 7. I got the most recent Java 7 (V51). So I run the FTB Launcher and it comes up. The problem is:

* I cannot get a list of the current packages!

Everything I have read tells me how to patch in the lwjgl-2.9.1 into a particular package (e.g. Direwolf20), but I cannot get the list of packages into a new FTB installation. NONE of the pages about Java 7 on Mac with lwjgl-2.9.1 talks about getting the initial list of mod packages. They all assume you have the list already!

I open FTB with a script in runit.command:
cd /Users/jdsbabcock/Desktop/Minecraft/Apps/FeedTheBeast
java -jar FTB_Launcher.jar -nojvm

(Optional information if issue involves download problems)
Anti-malware software and/or firewall:None
Location you're downloading from (per Launcher's Advanced Options): Chicago

This will give you an idea of what I have in the directory. All the lwjgl files are the lwjgl-2.9.1 version:
$ cd /Users/jdsbabcock/Desktop/Minecraft/Apps/FeedTheBeast
$ find . -print
./Direwolf20/Library/Application Support/minecraft./Direwolf20/minecraft/bin/jinput.jar
./Direwolf20/minecraft/bin/lwjgl.jar
./Direwolf20/minecraft/bin/lwjgl_util.jar

./runit.command

Looks like something is blocking you from connecting. The 1.6.4 packs come with 2.9.0 of lwjgl because that is what comes with 1.6 of minecraft.

The Basic Minecraft works fine for me. The FTB just does not get the list of modules, and I don't know how to fix it.

Besides which, I am doing a clean install of FTB, which is not working.

According to this the Chicago repo is still down. Try another location that is up and does not have much traffic.

Holy crap. That was the problem. Chicago is not working. I tried Los Angeles and it seems to be working.

I am up with Direwolf20. I cannot seem to connect to the party server I am on, but that is a different issue.

It seems to be working now single player. Thank you!

In that case @Ashzification fixed problem please lock.
