I am trying to play 1.4.7 (the newer versions work just fine) but when I try to download it gets stuck at this certain spot and doesn't seem to download it correctly then it "finishes" (even though it didn't actually download whatever thing I got stuck at) and then Minecraft tries to start up but gives me a crash (also when I try to start it up again it tries to download that thing I got stuck at again and fails and just gives me the crash again)
what do you mean exactly? I tried changing the game directory to the .Minecraft folder, the versions folder, and the 1.4.7 folder in the versions folder

Here is a pastebin of the crash report: https://pastebin.com/9myKvx0s
Use separate game directories for old versions.
