Trouble with linux install.

So I'm attempting to do an installation of Spiral Knights on Ubuntu 12.04.
I followed the instructions on http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Installation_FAQ.
I downloaded and updated Java per those instructions.
Ran:
sudo sh /home/[user]/spiral-install.bin.
When it asked for the version of JVM I wanted to use entered the following:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle
Asked me where I wanted to install:
/home/[user]/spiral (This is a folder I put in my user's directory to make sure I had write access as that was giving me problems with the installer before)

However now when I run:
sudo sh /home/[user]/spiral/spiral
the installer will launch and start but it always freezes. The furthest it's ever made it when downloading data is 30% although it likes to freeze at 5% or less and I dont know why.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Greetings,

In /home/[user]/spiral there should be a file called the launcher.log that should contain the status of the installation. Please post its contents here or a link to it on a site like Pastebin. It should reveal where the installation is hiccuping, it may just be that downloading is taking longer than anticipated.

Greetings,

It looks like that over the course of multiple install attempts you are slowly managing to download all the resource files required to run Spiral Knights. The log shows that it was in the process of downloading a ~60MB file at the time the log was copied to Pastebin. What happens if you just leave the installer running? The total initial download is over 200MB, so you might just need to let the installer run longer than expected.

I left it up overnight 2

I left it up overnight 2 nights ago because it stopped at 1% for some reason and when I came back to it in the morning it was still at 1%.

So I think this just has to

So I think this just has to do with how slow my internet is. In desperation I simply entered the url of the .jar it was trying to dowload and then moved it into the appropriate place from my downloads. So far between the intro-bundle.jar and the full-music-bundle.jar even downloading them normally freezes, but I simply pause the download then resume and for some reason it gives it a kick and it resumes downloading. This looks like its going to be a long and painful installation...
