Requesting Title Screen ... Connection Error

[Thesmallport 0]

I'm trying to play a server and no matter whether I use the downloaded client or the webclient, I get the error 'requesting title screen' followed by 'connection error retrying in __seconds'

I've looked all over the place for a solution and finally decided to make a new thread because I can't find a fix. I've established it's something to do with the cache of the server. I've tried deleting and redownloading several times and the problem still occurs.
I'm using a 64 bit version of Windows Ultimate and I'm running version 7 update 60 of java.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Cache is saved in C:/users/(my user) by the way.

are you trying to connect to someone elses server ?

if so can other people connect ?

if they can do the following things until it works;
1) Disable your ENTIRE firewall.
2) Disable any anti-virus software you have.
3) Portforward port 43594, 43595 and 5555 (this shouldnt make a difference but it might)
4) Delete the cache and client and download a fresh copy

I have this same issue with my Client... Ive searched everywhere and cant seem to find a fix that actually works for me.
I've noticed that my cache doesn't fully unzip, and i know that's the issue. I'm Still relatively new to coding so if anyone could help, that would be awesome :) Edited July 15, 2014 by Thorin

cache isn't packed correctly or your cache extractor is broken

Well, it must be the extractor then, cause i know the cache is packed correctly, thanks for the quick response btw.

Alright, I have a development, my client Run.bat cmd shows this now, it didnt show anything before

Now, i realize that means it is trying to read the cache before it unzips, but i don't know how to change that.

would you mind sharing me your signlink/cachedownloader? mine seems to be acting like a retard. I want to check it out if it is that or my source/client has a nulll

What i did was change the Version to "2", and i also changed my cache name to "NicksCache"
