Error Downloading Forge

Princerr5 · April 28, 2016

I was trying to download forge manually, because I don't like using installers. I am using forge version 1.8-11.14.4.1563. I created a new folder called 1.8-Forge, extracted version.json, renamed it to 1.8-Forge, basically everything I needed to do. After all of this, Minecraft won't launch. Launcher Log:
