someone wants attention it seems, where not blind over here.

There is no real error in your logfile but i do see
Code:
[01:11:47] [INFO] LaunchFrame.main:162: Java version: 1.6.0_37
YOu have java 6 installed instead of 7

Not that thats the cause of slow download, that can be anything from your internetconnection / router / AV / Firewall / Telia routing Creeper Repo etc.

Are you connected by cable or wireless? Incase of wireless can you try with a cable and see if the download is slow aswell?

Java 6 is best for mac launcher.jar. I've had terrible problems downloading over a slow wifi connection. Try a fast connection - its a 40meg set of files that apparently need to be grabbed all at once or creeper freaks.

On mac you should use java 6 nessiroj, the mac version of java 7 is made by oracle and sucks. What happens when it launches, does a window popup then dissapear, does the forge preparation window appear, is there the ftb animation? Are you stopping it from finish downloading, are you closing ANY windows or is it just closing itself? Creeperhost may also be running slow so you may also have to wait until tomorrow or wednesday.

Actually, Java 7 was made by oracle. The Mac version was changed by Apple to suit their needs.

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/201...le-Announce-OpenJDK-Project-for-Mac-OS-X.html

Apple (and lots of other people) contributes code to the OpenJDK project. I want to say that Oracle uses parts of the OpenJDK project for the OS X support, but I can't find a link to back me up.
OpenJDK and the JRE are not the same thing.
Apple has to change the JRE to work with their OS.
The example I was given to understand it better:
I wrote a book in English. You want the book in French, so you take all of the words and put them in Google Translate. But now, you need to be able to read it in English. You put it back in Google Translate. It still say the same thing, but there are some things that will be different, and hard to understand.
It's not the best analogy, but that's how it was first explained to me.

They mostly are, at this point. Oracle uses it as the "reference implementation" when building JDK/JRE 7. (link)

This is what I was talking about. The code that is contributed to the OpenJDK project is what allows the JVM to hook into the OS-specific (native) calls to do things like render graphics and sound, talk with the various pieces of hardware, etc. This doesn't mean that Apple makes the entire JRE/JDK. In fact, they stopped doing that with Java 7. Instead, Oracle likely pulls the native code from the OpenJDK project, and uses that in their official release of the "Java JRE/JDK".

That's what I was saying. Every version prior to java 7 was made by apple, but apple didn't develop java 7 and instead let oracle do it. I've found that java 7 on mac doesn't work with most applications and a serious vulnerability has already been found.
