Try downloading the Minecraft Legacy Build, which can be found on the download site at https://minecraft.net/download, and install that. That should return you to the old launcher.
If it doesn't, there's a .jar launcher option hidden on the same page, under the "Show all platforms" link. I'll link it here for convenience's sake.
Also having this issue, where the update stalls at 59.90 MB.

This may be a pretty recent bug, but it's a definite problem if people that want to run Minecraft can't even get the launcher to load.
Seems like common consensus is to stick with the .jar launcher until this bug is resolved.
Found the source of the problem!
In Avast, you'll need to disable both the File and Web Shields found under Preferences > Shields. Once both shields are disabled, you should be able to get the newest version of the launcher.
