I tried to go on minecraft today and the news feed screen, the screen before you log on, said <html><body><font color="#808080"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><center>Failed to update news<br>java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect</center></font></body></html>
Also when i looked at \AppData\Roaming\.minecraft it said file empty, please can someone help or will i have to make a new account?
Sometimes that's because Minecraft.net is down, but try what jak said.
I'll try that but something i forgot to mention is that when i tried to play it in the browser it didn't load either. Thanks for you help though
EDIT: I've reinstalled it and it still says,

Agaming.... reboot or restart your router, sounds like a dns issue.
Graylot.... are you using a mac? It does that from the web interface and sometimes from the clients.

try going deleting your .minecraft folder, then go to minecraft.net and redownload it, that should sort out any problems
