Do you ever wanted to play that Snapshot? But The New Launcher fails to download? Then the Solution is right Here!
Hey guys! LeGamer here,
Have you ever got these message when downloading Releases/Snapshots?
Couldn't download [url="https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/(release/snapshot"]https://s3.amazonaws...elease/snapshot[/url]).jar/(release/snapshot).jar for job 'Version & Libraries'

This Problem is widespread and also irritating. There are two ways to solve this:
Solution A:
Keep Retrying until download Succeeds
But that is boring and takes many tries!
Well then... Lets try the Longer but Facsinating way!
Solution B: Follow these Step by Step because this is Crucial!
1. Open your Launcher then Select the one to be downloaded (For ex. Snapshot 13w39a)
2. Wait until it finishes
3. See this in the code?
4. Copy that and Paste it into your Web Browser (any browser works)
5. Wait until it finishes downloading
6. Close The Launcher!
7. Go to your Roaming Folder then go to .minecraft Folder and versions Folder
8. Go to the 13w39a folder (or any version name you downloaded)
9. Delete 13w39a.jar
You will ask: But why in the world would I delete that? and why did I download a copy of it?
Here is your answer:
When opening the .jar file in the versions folder, you will see it is actually empty! Looking at the downloaded .jar file it is full of files Minecraft needs to work with. Thats why!
10. Replace the old .jar with the new downloaded one
11. Reopen the Launcher then Select the Profile with the version you wanted to Play
12. Happy Crafting!
If my tutorial worked... You are welcome! (in advance)
