I try to install the forge source (build number 953) but when I run install.cmd it shows this error:

The problem is that Mojang changed the download locations for their files, and with the whole Forge team preparing for the 1.7.X version launch, they aren't able or willing to touch the "stable" 1.6.4 one.

The fix involves editing your fml/fml.py file (located in the same folder as the install.cmd or install.sh file you're using to set it up).

In line 1149, change

default_url = 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/libraries'

to 

default_url = 'https://libraries.minecraft.net'

In line 1242, change

base_url = 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Resources'

to

base_url = 'http://resources.download.minecraft.net'

  • There seem to be questions about where the fml/fml.py script can be found. Do you think you could add that information to your answer?

  • @IQAndreas: It's like somebody never looked at the contents of the forge folder they just unpacked and plan to use ...

  • I can't seem to find fml.py at all in the 1.7.2 forge, installer, universal and source.

  • @3ventic: That's because the question and answer is about the 1.6.4 version.

  • Weird. Mine didn't have any of that stuff in the fml/fml.py file (and, yes, I'm using 1.6.4!) -- but it looks like the data is there in the fml/mc_versions.cfg which appears to be a standard .ini type file.
