Hey so i had to reinstall minecraft but whenever i try it downloads the shortcut but not actually the .minecraft files... any suggestions?

also when i try to play in browser it sticks on this screen

Well i guess its progress

You did delete the whole bin folder didn't you and not just minecraft.jar?

Yes i have done ALOT more digging and i think the reason things are not working is becuase there is a problem with my DNS, i dont know if this is something i have messed up or virgin have messed up because i got a new router and faster internet about a week ago.

I reckon i fixed the DNS however now i get this

Change your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

I have re downloaded java and added minecraft and java to my firewall although i never had to do that before, i am now gettin fatal error (4) s3.amazonaws.com and any tutorials on the internet are not helping, i still think it is a problem with my DNS so i will probably contact virgin

If it is as problem with your DNS, changing your server's to the addresses I listed above will resolve it.

I did try that and it did not work. Virgin did say that there is a problem and im getting a technician out soon

It isnt me its a problem with a server card and everyone in my area has it, should be fixed tonight or tomorrow

Glad to hear you've got to the root of the problem mate. Hopefully we'll see you back on the server soon

Well they fixed it .....It broke the next day...
