splash screen freeze

[sergeant twitchy]

Hi, I just recently updated my ftb launcher to the latest version... and with the update came an immediate and unpleasant bug... while this bug still persists I have found a way around it... the bug that I have found is that I cannot "downloadutils" from 2 download servers... miami1 and atlanta1..here's a copy and paste of the terminal I ran to find out why my ftb wasn't opening

[00:47:30] [INFO] LaunchFrame.main:198: FTBLaunch starting up (version 1.3.7)
[00:47:30] [INFO] JGoogleAnalyticsTracker$2.run:483: AnalyticsBackgroundThread started

[00:47:31] [INFO] DownloadUtils.run:386: Using download server Automatic:Atlanta on host atlanta1.creeperrepo.net (192.111.138.82)

so instead of launching, a splash screen opens up with "FTB loading" and a status bar that never fills. I was hard pressed to find out how to start ftb because I am using a 64 bit linux that I run from a usb drive, because my windows is a 32 bit copy.I can reproduce the results if you need me to, and the way around it was to run it in the terminal until I find a download server that isn't miami1 or atlanta1... then it works.[DOUBLEPOST=1395896518][/DOUBLEPOST](sorry for the double post) I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem... so it's probably just on my end, if you need any other information about my system, I'd be happy to oblige. And if this isn't the right spot for this I'm sincerely sorry.

Did you find any reliable solution for this problem? Because I have the exact same symptoms.

I find a download server that isn't miami1 or atlanta1... then it works.

I am having the same issue.
