Windows 8 - Launcher can't download remote file/Bootstrap fails
Tried several times to launch the game with the new launcher, but everytime I get a report saying that it is "Unable to download remote file." and I should "Check your internet connection/proxy settings."
It says: FATAL ERROR: net.minecraft.bootstrap.FatalBootstrapError: Unable to download while being forced
at net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap.execute(Bootstrap.java:82)
at net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:361)
and asks me to restart.
Environment
Windows 8, 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

Check your firewall settings, something is preventing you from downloading the needed files.
The file it downloads is in that screenshot, try it in your browser?
– edit
Short google later, someone 'fixed' a similar issue by uninstalling Hamachi;

Thanks! Disabling the Firewall fixed the issue! I hope that this will be a little easier to handle in future updates!
Edit: After reenabling the Firewall after the game had launched, the game failed to recognize the skin.

MCL-68.I know how to fix it ! 100 % ! (If you have ESET antivirus)
Go to the antivirus and click options, then Advanced settings (something like that) I dont know what actually writes because my computer is not in English version! Then go to HTTP, HTTPS and choose Don't check HTTPS protocol and click apply !
Sorry for bad english ! (If you have Google Chrome and it can't open some pages you are lucky - this will fix that too)
This worked for me 100 % if you have question tell me !
