when i try to install Alice config with the launcher, i keep getting this error message: "could not download http://update.skcraft.com/minecraft/alice-mc1.2.5-v7.1.0.zip:read time out"
Even though this has been tagged as resolved, it should be noted that some anti-virus programs, like AVG do not like Minecraft launchers, such as SKcraft's. When you are downloading mods/updating MC/SKcraft/etc. and have problems, try disabling your anti virus as well.
Sorry, I marked it as resolved when I quickly read over it and assumed it was due to the server downtime. Regardless, resolved.
