Ok so i deleted my .minecraft thinking i can reinstall it with out a swet. but somewhat recently I'm not able to play. Whenever I try to start the launcher I get the error "Unable to download remote file. Check your internet connection/proxy settings." I have already allowed java and minecraft through my firewall, checked my anti-virus, reinstalled minecraft, and reinstalled java multiple times. Also, my minecraft server which has run perfectly for months and months says [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 87: create [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port? One of my friends suggested I try using technic launcher and just playing vanilla without any modpacks, but none of the modpacks even load and it also only lets me play offline. Thanks.
