Download forbidden after fail x3

Soo... bear with me, because I'm losing my patience.

So I'm trying to download a game. And a month or two ago that would've been fine. But everyone is staying home and slowing down the internet for everyone else. Check. Easy. You understand, right? Of course.

So I'm even on business class internet. And all I want is a 700 meg file from itch, but my connection has been.. lets say, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for a little while now. Lets say a few weeks. Since people started dying from things.

And the download fails, sometimes. Which is fine, it happens. But hitting resume gives me a 'forbidden'. *frustrated sigh*

Soo..  ya know, if someone.. somewhere.. could up the timeout/retry to longer than a minute or two.. allow resumes on a game thats in the collection.. or, ya know, at the risk of sounding ungrateful.. just try to be like every other site in the entire world. Is that so hard to allow resumes that are a minute or two apart?

Thank you for your time.

~A guy who thinks this site is a lot like newgrounds and has a lot of indie guys putting out what might be quality content. I'd just like to try out some of it.

*Ahem* Sorry, I'll try again later when I'm not during peak usage days. Soo.. next week? *chuckles* ah.. this virus sucks..
