[MCL-1542] When downloading: "XML document structures must start and end within the same entity"

When I started the launcher and switched to the Development Console I found this in it:

Couldn't download resources
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 2; XML document structures must start and end within the same entity.

Download job 'Resources' skipped as there are no files to download
Job 'Resources' finished successfully

When I start the game it works fine but I felt that it's better if I report this.

Also, it happens in the 1.2.4 version of the launcher and there is no option for that at the "Affected Versions" section.
