Still nothing here as well. I've completely run out of possible solutions now, i've tried every single one of those alternative DNS options there. I've tried disabling firewalls and antivirus/anything that might be blocking it or hindering it, i've tried port forwarding. I've done computer restarts and router resets and everything else that's been suggested here or in the other thread.

Still it will not allow me to even see the launcher proper. It'll do one of those updating bars and on the second one it'll freeze near the end and give me an error. SE fix your bullshit, this is getting beyond tiring and frustrating having to deal with crap everytime there's the slightest update.
