keep getting download error when downloading forge launcher

[notsmrttechy]

i have a question and i need some serious help!

 

 

and just so everyone knows as you read this ... i don't play minecraft (downloading forge for my brother, who is just getting started with the world of minecraft forge and mods)

 

trying to download minecraft forge launcher, we can get the download no problem; however, when we open it the mod system installer pops up, i select install client and the following error comes up:

 

 

 

Error Downloading

 

These libraries failed to download. Try again.

org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.10.2, org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:2.10.2

 

 

 

 

we've tried everything! we tried re-downloading minecraft, we've watched a bunch of tutorials, we've been on different forums trying to figure this out!

 

if anyone can help us we would appreciate it ... i can usually figure out what to do but i'm totally stumped and starting to get frustrated!!

If you are still having issues with the current installer. You need to try running it from the command line and showing me what it outputs. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this downloader crap. It should work on all systems that I've been informed were broken.
