so i was seeing in my downloads folder that it was saying 0, took a second look at my browser only to see it had halted it from being able to launch at all, sorry for wasting time
So i tried downloading a few different versions of forge, and i've noticed each one comes up with 0 bytes and an error message when trying to open it, tried multiple times on multiple versions, and i keep getting this same result
currently i am trying to install forge 10.13.4.1614 for version 1.7.10
tried windows installer, got message "this app cant run on your pc"
tried installer "file may be corrupted or missing"
tried universal installer, nothing happens
installed jarfix, same thing happened on all 3
running java 8 vr 191 64 bit
not sure what else to try right now
