When attempting to open the new snapshot, it continually hangs up trying to download 15w33b.jar. I have checked my internet connection, tried updating my drivers, run the launcher as an administrator, and even deleted all the other version files for 15w33b, and nothing works.

The logfile looks fine:
[17:59:48 INFO]: Download job 'Resources' skipped as there are no files to download
Sadly, log files can't tell you everything - the fact remains that the download stopped in the middle and refused to continue. I was unable to use the snapshot until I finally repaired my launcher no less than 3 times; it people can't play the game, they won't want to bother trying to fix it just so they can play it.
I admit that the conditions are not optimal (no obvious steps to reproduce, for example), but this should still be looked into to some extent (also, it isn't the first time I've had this problem, although never quite to this extent).
The file servers may stall / download is very slow under high load conditions, i.e. a new snapshot was published right now.
I've seen that on my PC that a snapshot / release takes ~15 Minutes to download - patience is your friend.
After some more testing, re-downloading the Minecraft installer and using the "Repair" option fixed the problem. However, this is probably still something that should be looked into.
