Hey, today Minecraft started taking a ridiculous amount of time to start from the launcher.
It takes about a minute or two to I guess connect to my account, and when I press play it begins to download(?). Right now It's been stuck on "Downloading lwjgl-2.9.1.jar" for 20 minutes. I've re installed Minecraft and refreshed my computer over and over again, and the problem persists. I've never had this problem before...
I have a Windows 8 with 3.89 GB of available RAM. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you for reading.

What you described makes me believe it has nothing to do with your computer, but your connection. Try restarting the router/modem, and retry.

It worked!!
Thank you!
