Tried to install Minecraft for the first time last night. The progress bar in the launcher gets pretty close to the end after downloading stuff, then I get this at the end of the console:

I've deleted and reinstalled but get the same thing each time.

Any suggestions? Many, many thanks.

BTW this is on a Mac.

Oddly enough, I just tried downloading and running Minecraft on a different Mac, running a different version of OS X, with a different version of Java, and on a different network, but I got the same error.

This is super baffling to me. Any ideas?
