Looks like an issue with your internet connection - If you try to download the file listed in the log through a browser or something, what happens?
If it works, then a firewall, anti-virus or a confused virus is blocking Minecraft (or Java) from accessing the internet.
If it doesn't work, then there's a proxy, parental web filter or blocking system stopping anything from accessing s3.amazonaws.com (and probably a whole bunch of other sites too)
There isn't much that can be done about proxies, web filters and blockers, but you should be able to deal with firewalls and anti-viruses easily. If you know your way around said software, allow access for all entries marked "Java (SE) Platform Binary" (if it does it on a program-by-program basis) or "amazonaws.com" and "minecraft.net" aaand "mojang.com" (if it does it on a site-by-site basis). For the site-by-site blockers, you may have to include subdomains ("s3.amazonaws.com", "assets.minecraft.net") but most will do that for you automatically.
Go to Start and type in cmd. Right-click the results that appears and click 'Run as administrator', then accept then UAC dialogue.
In the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter:
netsh winsock reset
Once complete, restart your computer and try Minecraft again.
