Minecraft.jar download error while opening modpack DireWolf20 1.5 (1.1.1)

[Craigien]

My friend has been having issues opening the DireWolf20 1.5 (1.1.1) modpack and all other modpacks. He keeps getting a console error saying that Java cannot get minecraft.jar. He was able to play when he had Java 32 bit installed but then he needed more RAM. He installed the 64 bit Java and got rid of the 32 bit Java. After that he could not open the modpack even though he has a 64 bit operating system.

His specs are:
Windows 7 64 bit
Java 7 Update 5 64 bit
Norton Security System

Here is a pastebin of the console log

Any help would be appreciated.

I just want to rule out ANY possible issues with the set up.
I wouldn't be surprised if Norton were the issue with the download.

By the log, it seems one of two things.

the mojang servers are down/overloaded.

Or.

Your being blocked by your firewall.

I'm betting on the first one, though.

Bet's on. I got the AV you can have the servers

Done.

(it is Norton though... :/)

@OP, do be sure to still do ALL the steps that Ash linked for you. The same links can be found in my signature.
