I accidently deleted minecraft and when I try to re-install it I get this error in the console:

Please fix the error and restart.


I fixed that but now when I login I get this error: (SocketException: Permission denied: connect)

do you get this on one server, or all servers you try?

It is not a server log error, but a Minecraft launcher error. Try referring to this http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1937025-fatal-error-netminecraftbootstrapfatalbootstraperror-unable-to-download-while-being-forced/, which is a post that has the same problem and solution as yours. Good Luck!

Have you tried allowing minecraft in your firewall?

Try running the game as an administrator.
