Since the other topic did not grab any attention, i thought i would make my own. Every time i try to run World of Minecraft it says "Downloading Update" then "The Application will now quit. It should pick up up the updated applet version when restarted". So after that is said and done i try to run again i get the exact same thing. Every time I try to run it says it updating every single time. I've been able to get on a couple times during the part 3 days but other than that I've been getting this update error. Also, I've tried re-downloading the client and the .jar file but that doesn't work either. I would appreciate any help.

i know its updating to beta,

i know its updating to beta, but thats not the reason, This has been happening for 4 days now, and everyone else on my server has been able to get on, except for me of course. This is classic were talking about, not alpha/beta.

Same problem here

Everytime you run it after putting the minecraft.jar in lib folder, it does the "Downloading update", gets a much larger minecraft.jar file (I'm assuming its the beta version) then shuts down.

Running it again gives a could not find main class error. Is this going to get fixed?

Or does anyone know of a way to tell it to not update itself ?

Womclient updating and website problems

Minecraft has migrated all their data to a new server cluster. Womclient seems to be struggling with the change.

What is happening is womclient is getting updated, but the file
"minecraft.jar" isn't on the server it used to be, so the minecraft.jar
in your womclient/lib folder has become 0kb. Empty. You need to
re-download minecraft.jar from :

https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/classic/minecraft.jar

and
put it in your womclient/lib folder. Keep a copy of womclient and the
minecraft.jar file because you will probably have to do this again
later.

To prevent womclient from updating again do this :

1. Disconnect from your network.
2. Start womclient , don't login yet.
3. Re-connect to your network
4. Wait a few secs to be sure you are connected properly
5. Login to womclient.
6. Pray you can connect to a server.

This is the only semi-reliable solution at the moment.

A bit less annoying fix

There is also another solution that is a little less hassle, as it doesn't mean you have to disconnect.

-start by re-downloading the minecraft.jar, but rename it something like Minecraft1.jar
-keeping the old Minecraft.jar file in place, add the new minecraft1.jar file to the LIB folder
-right click on the run that brings up the command prompt and click 'edit' then hit 'run' if it asks.
-you should be in a notepad file, find:
 %JAVA6% -classpath skin;lib\jinput.jar;lib\lwjgl.jar;lib\lwjgl_util.jar;lib\World of Minecraft.jar;lib\minecraft.jar 
- replace 'minecraft.jar' with 'minecraft1.jar'
If it works your computer should only try to update it after your computer has been shut down, you wont have to re-download the file or disconnect from the internet.
I am not the one who came up with this, I found it in another post on here.

I've also found that keeping

I've also found that keeping a 'spare' file doesn't work all the time, too. Try downloading a fresh one?
