Hi All,

my boss and I are gonna run a LAN minecraft server at work to play during breaks. I've downloaded the latest minecraft.exe which promptly downloads the Minecraft Launcher without a hitch.

After logging in with my account details, it begins to download the game. In the development console, it displays many of the below:

I know this is probably because of the way our proxy is configured. I've come to terms with this. What I want, however, is to download the files I need via HTTP and just put them in the .minecraft directory.

Does Mojang host these anywhere? Does anyone else?

Thanks for any help!
