Something is dropping the connection on your end somewhere through the download.

You can try again, but if you still have issues, just manually install the jar file into the right folder.

You can download it here: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.11.1

Thanks, though, how do I do this? I'm a bit of a noob.

Hopefully, you know how to download the file. You place the file in the following folder:

minecraft/libraries/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.11.1/

 

If any of the folders do not exist (the minecraft, libraries, org, and scala-lang should exist), just create it.

Thanks it worked!
