Whenever I double-click on the "Minecraft.exe" file, it opens up the launcher and when it gets to the stage where it has to unpack the "launcher.jar" file, it appears to freeze. When I observe the file getting filled in the .minecraft folder, it get's filled only one or a few kilobytes at a time.
I deleted everything but my save and redownloaded the game, but the problem still persists (I assumed it was frozen the first time and only investgated it after the problem persisted after re-downloading, so I can't be certain that it was the same issue the first time, but it's a safe bet).

Anyone know how to fix?
Try checking your firewall, etc. Sometimes firewalls or antivirus will block from downloading.
