E-tag checksum problem

[GhostName]

I was trying to instal forge for a 1.7.10 minecraft server and when i try to do so it says "invalid e-tag checksum" what the heck is that? Please help!

How are you trying to install it?

Is this server being hosted/ what kind of access do you have to the files?

Is this for an official modpack or a custom/3rdparty pack?

I have made the modpack so it is custom, and I am trying to install it through the windows forge installer and the server is hosted and i have full acess to the files.

Humm I wonder if there was something you could give us that would tell us exactly what is going on and what the error is....

Perhaps something that catalogs everything that happens during loading...

I think those things are called LOGS!

 

But beyond that, you should update to 1.8, it's been over a year and a half. 1.9 is about to drop and when it does 1.7.10 will be OFFCIALLY EOLed on these forums.

Upload logs/fml-client-latest.log from your game directory to Gist and link it here.

Hello I also got the same problem while trying to install forge 1.7.10.1614 today. The problem is that there is no .log file created. (Step1)When I run the "forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-installer.jar" or "forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-installer-win.exe". (Step2)Then I click on the "Install server" option and proceed to select and empty folder.(Step3)After that I click the "OK" button. Then the little progress window appears saying: "Downloading libraries" and under it "Downloading minecraft server version ...". And in a few seconds a pop-up window appears with a title "Error downloading" and content "Downloading minecraft server failed, invalid e-tag checksum.   Try again, or manually place server jar to skip download.".

It has instructions indeed but what I personally am unable to understand is where and which server.jar file do I have to download in order to skip it's failing download.

Edit: sorry I do not know how to reduce the pictures' size.

Unfortunately I think this is just a problem with Forge ATM. Its seems like too much of a coincidence that the last post on this was almost a year ago, and as soon as i start having problems, someone else posts here. I havent been able to download the Libraries with this same exact issue.

 

Actually it looks like Amazons Web Hosting is having some issues, that could be part of the problem. Heres the Story https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/28/amazon-aws-s3-outage-is-breaking-things-for-a-lot-of-websites-and-apps/

I have been having the same problem. I can't find any source of information on how to fix it either. Hopefully there will be some soon enough...
