[MCL-11412] Failed to download file. patchy-1.1.jar

Moderator Note

If you have ByteFence installed, see MCL-5546.

I recently downloaded minecraft to my new computer and upon starting the client and hitting START. It attempted to download the most recent version, and then gave me the error.

Also having this issue. On iOS 10.14.4, no mods installed. Tried deleting and reinstalling Minecraft to no avail.

I have been having the same issue. I have run various tests to try and and identify any software that might be causing it and uninstalling it and have come up dry. The only software that could be causing this left is Akamai and the file path that it comes up on, on a HijackThis.exe test doesn't exsist...

Experiencing this problem on two computers on two different networks and two different internet service providers. None of the software installed is blocking it, to my knowledge, on either machine nor network.

Some users found using a VPN set to Canada or North America fixed this issue but I cannot confirm this as I have not tried it.

Currently affecting tested installs of 1.13-1.14.X.

Just downloaded Minecraft and I'm having the same issue

Please explain how closing my issue as a duplicate and sending me to the duplicate post that I've already seen but is resolved and has no solution on my issue is going to help? My post is now shown as resolved so is this one and I still don't have a fix? Day 2 of me trying different things constantly and every other website has been more helpful thank minecrafts official page.
