Minecraft – How to manually install the default resources in Minecraft 1.7.2

minecraft-java-edition

I recently purchased Minecraft for PC, I'm using the original launcher, and each time I try to play, after login, the development console print several lines with the following contents:

[22:51:40 WARN]: Couldn't download https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Resources/sounds/mob/ghast/moan4.ogg for job 'Resources'
java.lang.RuntimeException: Server responded with 503

In a web browser I tried to navigate to the given URL: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Resources/sounds/mob/ghast/moan4.ogg and I got the following message:

<Error>
  <Code>SlowDown</Code>
  <Message>Please reduce your request rate.</Message>

</Error>

Obviously the backend server (Amazon) has issues providing the default resources for Minecraft. Is there any way to obtain those default resources and do a manual installation?

Best Answer

Download wget for windows, I installed to c:\GnuWin32\

Create a directory where you want the files to go, You'll have to move them later

open a command prompt box by clicking start and running cmd.exe

Save the following batch file ( http://pastebin.ca/2476877 ) to a file called (yourdirectoryyoujustmade)/getminecraft.bat

in the command prompt type in getminecraft.bat

Move the files into your minecraft resources folder ( look in the debug window )

Worked for me! Kids are off my back now!
