"Connection reset" when downloadingClient in gradlew

[Emd4600]

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I wanted to start modding. So I was setting up Forge and everything was going well until I get into "downloadingClient". Then it stays some minutes and it crashes with a "java.net.SocketException: Connection reset" error. I tried disabling the firewall and keeps happening. What can I do? Thanks

But it didn't because I can use internet even when it crashes.

You could just copy the client files over from your .minecraft folder

Thanks, but where do I paste them?

[Emd4600]

Or, at least, can Forge work if I use the complete folder of someone?

[Emd4600]

Please, help me. I can't do anything without your help.

What happens if you run this:

 

gradlew.bat clean setupDecompWorkspace --assetIndex 1.7.10 --assetsDir %userprofile%\.gradle\caches\minecraft\assets

[Emd4600]

Unknown command-line option '--assetIndex'

And you downloaded the "1.7.10 Latest" from here:

http://files.minecraftforge.net/

 

??

[Emd4600]

Yes, I did.

Now I tried downloading the source file and putting it to the correct directory but then it downloads it and it crashes again. How can I skip the downloadClient ?

[Tslat]

Download it manually, but I'm not entirely sure how it's meant to laid out when you do. I cleared mine so I can't check anymore lol.

 

Are you able to do it on a different computer on a different network?

You'll have to copy the assets folder from your .gradle folder to your current computer, and not the workspace.
