setupDecompWorkspace -> Connection to http://files.minecraftforge.net refused

[vbelenky]

Hello. I have downloaded the latest recommended forge src as of now (1.7.10-10.13.2.1230). In the command prompt I run the following command:

 

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

 

It eventually results in the following error:

 

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'forge'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not download artifact 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:1.2-SNAPSHOT:ForgeGradle.jar'
      > Could not GET 'http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/gradle/ForgeGradle/1.2-SNAPSHOT/ForgeGradle-1.2-20141016.161126-202.jar'.
         > Connection to http://files.minecraftforge.net refused

 

I tried to access this URL in the browser, looks fine. I also tried to turn off firewall, same thing. Please advise.

Just recently I had a similar problem. I am developing a mod currently so I have a development environment set up, I use eclipse. When you load the game it checks to see if you have the latest version of forge. I have not updated my forge version or made any changes worth mentioning to it but as of today I believe or within the week at least I have been seeing this in my console.

As I have made no changes to anything it suggests there is a problem server-side, the actual forge website.

 

Or I am an idiot. Possible

Known, the file server is a bit derpy recently, OvermindDL1's supposed to fix it...

I tried it again. It works now.
