These libraries failed to download.

[SynKroN]

I am having a problem installing minecraft forge 1.12.2. But unlike other similar subjects I have searched on the website, I am having this problem on my mac(it seemed like a lot of the similar problems had solutions for windows only...)

 

To get into the details of the problem, I will state some facts:

 

1. I am currently running Mac OS High Sierra OR Version 10.13.1

2. I got my Java updated to its recomended, which is Java 8 update 161.

3. I tried both recommended and latest installer of the minecraft forge 1.12.2.

4. I am getting the same error message: "These libraries failed to download. Try again. com.typesafe.akka:akka-actor_2.11:2.3.3".

5. Does "Not Downloading {Wrong Side}" have any significance? I don't quite understand what it's trying to convey to me.

5. I haven't installed minecraft forge ever since version 1.8, so my knowledge lacks beyond minecraft forge 1.8 versions.

 

I'm not quite sure if I did something wrong or if it just won't work with my mac.

Any Ideas?

 

I will also copy and paste the long list of the installer.jar log:

You 100% sure that only that version of Java is available?

 

Have you got good Wifi speeds & the your connection is not blocked in any way
