Hey guys, just bought Minecraft, and when I log in, it says ''downloading packages''.
However, the download bar wont go further that a centimeter or so, so i won't be able to play, because it can't update. Any idea what the issue is ? Thanks :)

ps: already shut down my firewall.

go here and download that and

go here and download that and extract it to your desktop or whatever (its my minecraft.jar file and its updated so you will not need update).

once its downloaded go to USER>appdata>roaming>.minecraft>bin and replace the minecraft(.jar) with the one you just downloaded. hope i helped.
