Ah, nevermind. I managed to fix the problem by allowing the javaw.exe through Windows Firewall and by disabling my Antivirius program for the download. Words of advice for anyone having the same problem as me, turn off your Firewall and disable your Antivirius program.

Yesterday, I managed to download Minecraft thanks to a friend. Since I haven't played the game for four years, naturally I attempted to mod the game and visited this site for the Forge installers. However, I've been running into a roadblock with the Forge Installers last night. Starting with the Win-installer of the recommended version of Forge , it ended up failing to download a specific group of libraries. Picture of the Error window with said libraries failing to download: I looked around the fourms to see if anyone had ran into the same problem, but they most involved more than the libraries seen in the screenshot. Topics I checked in the forums: I checked the Rules and EAQ thread for anything similar, but the solution that was closest to the problem had a dead link so that was a dead end to me. I tried the other installers (the .jar installer and the universal .jar installer), but they also ended up failing at the same set of libraries. I made sure to keep my firewall off and my laptop is always connected securely to the internet (even if my wifi is slow). I have also tried to do command prompt below, but it came up with the same error above. java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar [.jar file] Here's the error log that the the .jar installer (not the universal one) provided to me: https://pastebin.com/bG2cxK64 If it's any help, I did also update Java to the latest version and the OS that my laptop runs on is Windows 7.
