[1.6.4] Forge not downloading

[jordsta95]

Hey guys, I wanted to get back into modding and I am repeatedly being stopped before I even get to the coding side.

 

I run the install file and after installing most things I get this message:

 

I don't understand what I am doing wrong, sorry if this has a simple solution. But I have tried this on multiple occasions and always getting the same result

1.6.4 is unsupported and realy outdated.

You better get back into modding by learning the new 1.7.10 Forge.

1.6 isn't outdated though...

I thought 1.7 was still 'unstable' in terms of forge/modding etc.

 

Also, would I not need to update a mod from 1.5 to 1.6 before 1.7?

Yeah jsut like 8 mounths old.

1.7.2 is pretty stable, 1.7.10 isn't that stable.

You don't have to update to 1.6 and than 1.7.

But from 1.5 to 1.7 its gonna be tough one.
