I tried google about whitelisting a domain but I didn't found anything about it.

Something is corrupting this download on your computer. You may need to go into your antivirus and allow the folder than ATLauncher is in so it doesn't mess with the files it's trying to download.

(1.6 modpacks download just fine)

My log: http://paste.atlauncher.com/view/e582f569
Failed Downloads: http://www91.zippyshare.com/v/BFQKIBkd/file.html

<I have tried all of the following>
1) whitelisted all the domains provided in the instructions
2) completely removed any anti-virus/firewall software and shut off windows firewall as well
3) completely removed any java installed, rebooted my computer and the router, and reinstalled java (+tried it out with both java 7 and 8 each at a time)
4) manually downloaded the akka-actor file from the download link in the log(http://download.nodecdn.net/containers/a...-2.3.3.jar) that shows the launcher failed to grab and putting it in the downloads folder and Configs/Libraries folder

So guys, what's the problem here? I'm pretty sure I'm safe to say none of my windows firewall, anti-virus/firewall softwares, and internet connection is a problem, since I've tried every instructions suspecting they were.

Something is corrupting this download on your computer. You may need to go into your antivirus and allow the folder than ATLauncher is in so it doesn't mess with the files it's trying to download.

Being the weird liberal arts major that can sometime be geekier than the tech majors, I've struggled with the problem and experimented all the possibilites to find out that my router was the problem. Having suffered from so much pain with no applicable advice from any of the posts so far and wanting to help others who may come here in the future for the same problem, I'm writing down two possible (but not ultimate) solutions to the problem.

<Solutions to failed download of akka-actor>
1. Connect your internet to your computer without going through ANY routers whatsoever.
OR
2. Find a person/buddy who's download works, ask for a zipped folder of the whole AT launcher with the wanted modpack downloaded and installed, and play.

I've tested both of the above solutions to work for me, and also found that once initial successful download of any of the 1.7.10 modpacks is done, other modpacks download just fine. (Meaning you need to run any of the two above methods just once initially and the rest will work out fine)

<Suggestion>
From this point on, it's more of a suggestion to the at launcher community and staffs. I'm not arrogant or thoughtless enough to be demanding something which I didn't even pay for. I know you guys put in precious time and efforts to get the community working and this should be really appreciated. But guys, look at the sheer number of posts reporting the same problem from ages ago. Doesn't it seem like a chronic disease that calls for a surgery? I can't express enough the stress I went through when the AT launcher didn't work when all other launchers such as FTB or Technic worked just fine, and the administrator told me to allow the AT launcher and its folders on the anti-virus/firewall software when I explicitly stated in my post that I have tried with my windows firewall disabled and any of such softwares completely removed from my computer.

Also, although I've said that I found my router to be the problem, this is really strange too becuase I know my ways with the router and it was completely portforwarded so it wasn't a portforward issue, and I've looked through every function of my router to find no other available whitelist/allow measures to take.

If all other launchers weren't working, I should be blaming my router and its company but to see that nothing else but only the AT launcher is causing problems means something. Again, as I've already fixed the problem on my own, this isn't a request, especially not one out of anger. Rather, this is a suggestion out of both interest and dissapointment in the community. Is it anywhere near possible that there will be a fix for this in the future? Seeing how 1.6.4 modpacks download just fine but 1.7.10 modpacks fail due to the failed download of the akka-actor file, could you perhaps look into what's causing the launcher to fail to grab the file from the download url for so many people?

P.S. I really want the community to prosper so I'm writing from care, not anger. But if I've made my sentences offensive to you in anyway, I deeply apologize in advance.

hey guys, keep getting the below error when trying to download the pack for the first time (MadPack 3) have been using MP2 for a while now

[13/8/2015 18:17:44 PM] Failed to download file Draconic-Evolution-1.7.10-1.0.1c.jar from all ATLauncherservers. Copied to FailedDownloads Folder. Cancelling install!

can anyone help?

If some software blocks the ATL download servers, that is nothing we can really do about. Ryan has tried to contact one of the problematic antivirus programs (Trend Micro) but hasn't received a response as far as I know. I assume that the other problematic antivirus/firewall companies are equally "responsive". This really isn't something that the launcher can do anything about - it works fine without any problems on many systems, the download issues are caused by firewalls and the like blocking some of the file downloads.

The fact that you can install 1.6 modpacks but not 1.7 ones is probably because you have the Forge libraries for 1.6 cached already (under the launcher's Downloads and Configs/Libraries folders). If the cached files are up-to-date (i. e. their hash matches the one in the modpack XML) they are not redownloaded.

First, I'm really confused as to which part of "completely removed any anti-virus/firewall software and shut off windows firewall as well" did not get through to you, but I'll say it again- it had nothing to do with any anti-virus/firewall softwares, since I've tried it with them completely REMOVED from my computer.

Second, your explanation for 1.6 forge libraries already being cached does not make sense because both the 1.6 and 1.7 modpacks had the same starting point (just to make sure, I had already reset everything related to minecraft- minecraft itself, forge, and the launcher folders- so when I tried to download the 1.6 modpacks it would be my 'initial' attemt to download the 1.6 forge libraries after I've deleted all the related folders & files)

Last, from my perspective, that the launcher is working for 'many' systems is a completely separate issue from how it isn't for 'many others', but I guess this point is pretty useless from your pespective.

If it seems to be out of your reach and you can't do anything about it, I understand. But I just wanted to make it clear that unlike how I've been repeatedly getting replies saying something about my anti-virus/firewall softwares, it's not the softwares that's hindering the task. (I mean how can they, when they don't even exist on my computer lol)

Anyhow, thanks for your time and attention. Your prompt replies really show that you care about the users, which is always an appreciated thing

Add "router/proxy internet filter" to the list of things that can get in the way of the launcher then.
