@thefaketivist did you download the torrent? Remove it from your torrent client and try again.

@thefaketivist delete the launcher and redownload it from here https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe.
Also run the launcher as admin.
If it still says it needs internet access try changing your dns servers (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-pcs-dns-settings-windows-10).
Also which antivirus software do you use?

@thefaketivist yea delete plutonium.new.exe and plutonium.exe and use the one from the link. So you use windows defender.
Follow this video guide: https://streamable.com/5giauo.
Do you have a vpn you can try and use?

@thefaketivist do you even have administrator rights on your pc? Seems like the launcher has no permissions to write to AppData which it should have if you're admin or are running it as admin.. no idea.
