Unable to download

[axelblade0013]

Hello there folks, new here. So my wife and I are trying to install the latest version of forge. We are unable to obviously. We both went to the download section and tried to download the 1.8 compatible forge version and the page wouldn't load. I personally tried the adfly and the direct link. I even went to http://files.minecraftforge.net/ but all I got was a page saying "This webpage is unavailable." Is the download servers down or shut down or am I just not holding my mouth right? Any help is very much appreciated.

I got a friend to try the download page and it worked just fine so I ad him send the installer to me via Skype. I started to install the client and it fed me this error about 60% in:

These libraries failed to download. Try again.

com.typesafe.akka:akka-actor_2.11:2.3.3, com.typesafe:config:1.2.1, org.scala-lang:scala-actors-migration_2.11:1.1.0, org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:2.11.1, org.scala-lang.plugins:scala-continuations-library_2.11:1.0.2, org.scala-lang.plugins:scala-continuations-plugin_2.11.1:0.2, org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.11.1, org.scala-lang:scala-parser.combinators_2.11:1.0.1, org.scala-lang:scala-reflect:2.11.1, org.scala-lang:scala-swing_2.11:1.0.1, org.scala-lang:scala-xml_2.11:1.0.2

Any ideas on how to solve?

Had that same problem.

 

You're missing library files. Easy enough to follow this YouTube Video:

There isn't much we can do on our end, we've got two mirrors up for the downloads both located in completely different countries. Both serving hundreds of TBs of data a day. Something isn't letting you connect to either server.

As the video above demonstrates you can install the libraries manually if everything else fails.
