1) Since I re-installed Minecraft (no/nothing in .minecraft), every times I start minecraft it will ''get stuck'' downloading random .ogg sound files for the 'resources'. Every. Single. Time.
The ''downloading?'' will go on for several minutes to easily 10-15 minutes ! And, it's always .ogg sound files, from what it says on the 'download bar' below.
Note : I have uninstalled/deleted Minecraft/.minecraft folder a few times, and then cleanly re-installed Minecraft, trying to find what could be the problem... with no success.
3) Windows 7 Édition Familiale Premium 64-bit.
DxDiag : http://pastebin.com/q1VUzTPf
Note: Windows 7 SP1 was freshly installed, on November 1st, and everything from video drivers to java plugins were updated to the latest version available on November 14 2014.
4) In (both) Program files folder(s), it says 'jre1.8.0_25'.
I have installed both 32bits and 64bits version 'Version 8 Update 25' on my computer.
and this will continue happening until all the files eventually get downloaded. Why can't minecraft download these files? Is your internet connection slow? Do you have an Antivirus or web proxy that is scanning all your HTTP requests and slowing them down (or crashing under the load) ?
In a way you are lucky. Minecraft will refuse to run if certain assets / resources can't be downloaded because they are absolutely required. Looks like Mojang enchanced the sound subsystem so that it won't crash when sounds are missing, so sound files are no longer considered essential.
The only thing that's different from before I installed Windows 7 SP1 (before, I had Windows XP SP3... I regret installing Windows 7 since the first day...) is that I have Bitdefender (free edition) instead of AVG 2015 (free edition).
Bitdefender is that kind of very simple anti-virus that is... too simple, in a way. I couldn't tell you, if he scan 'this' or 'that', or when it does it. All I know is that it ''works''. I'm still (very) new to this specific anti-virus program, I must say, even though I did my share of research about it before installing it.
For my Internet connection, it's decent. Not fiber-optic, that's for sure, but decent enough. I rarely had problem with it in the 'past', but... it seems that Windows 7, or whatever the hell is going on since I installed it, is making sure that changes.
...is there a way, ANY way, to manually download these ''.ogg sound files'', so that Minecraft doesn't stupidly choke on them trying to inefficiently get them ? Any solution other than running minecraft 50 000 times, hoping it will FINALLY download all the files he should already have gotten the first time ? Can I ''copy/paste'' the folder(s) from someone else who also have Minecraft on a Windows 7 (portable, though) computer ?
Following a (increasingly worrying) ''hunch'' I got, when you mentioned anti-virus programs in general, I tried to ''deactivate/close'' BitDefender... I found that the program doesn't even freaking have that option !
So... I uninstalled it, deleted the .minecraft folder, and re-downloaded minecraft and... It worked.
BitDefender was the bloody problem. Yet, I still can't say I understand 'Why' ? Why just -->SOME<-- of the files, and ONLY some of the .ogg files in fact, couldn't ''pass'' BitDefender mysterious ''wall?''.
New Windows... new anti-virus... A recipe for everything that can go wrong, to go wrong.
Honestly, I'm not exactly confidant in the future... Sure, it worked there and now, but as long as I don't know how to slap some sense into BitDefender... this will happen again. It's just a matter of time.
The ones that failed are the longer ones (music & records). Bitdefender might have spent "a lot" of time trying to understand what these large files are if it doesn't know how to id a file as an OGG file. The timeouts happen when a file doesn't open within 30 seconds.
