library download failure. [solved?]

[etopsirhc]

as you know the installer for 1.6.2 fails to download the libraries, after following the instructions in the EAQ i still cant get forge installed.

 

downloaded and extracted the files then ran minecraft like it said to, but nothing happened so to speak.

vanilla minecraft just launched as it would w/o the libraries.

 

tried downloading the installer again, with the libraries already there from the manual download.

it got past the scala-library, but not the scala-compiler. it seems to always try downloading and extracting the compiler, even if its already there.

 

any idea how to fix this?

 

( OS debain based linux with java7 64bit )

 

 

[edit]

no clue how but 8 tries later of just running the installer ,after all the above stuff, it finally worked.
