Do you have any other information? What kind of computer are you running? Could a firewall be blocking the download? Are you using the launcher with built in java or the one with separate java? What version of java are you using?
I'm on a windows 8 and I'm not sure how to disable the firewall and I'm not sure if I have one on either. I'm using the launcher and I can tell you what is in my game files at the moment. I think I might be missing a piece. I went from: This PC: Windows: Program Files (x86): Minecraft. and inside the minecraft folder is game (which is empty), tools (which has NativeUpdater), Minecraft Launcher, and nativelog.
