Can't Download In Browser

I'm having problems downloading any games from my browser, I can download them through the app, but it seems not every game works with the app, I can download things from other sites just fine, its just the itch.io website that keeps giving me a failed download and says Forbidden when I try to download anything. Not sure whats causing this, any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Is your internet cutting out? We don’t support resumable downloads from the browser. The forbidden error happens when you try to access a download URL after it has already expired. Once you start a download from the site you’ll have to finish it in one go. If it fails, then you’ll have to go back to the project page an initiate a new download. You can not resume the download from your browser’s download tab. If you’re having trouble getting it downloaded in one go then I recommend sticking with the app.

(We do this to prevent people abusing our hosting and trying to distribute direct download links without giving credit)

Hope that helps!

Nope this didn't help one bit! My internet is fine, if you actually read you'd know that i'm downloading fine on every other website its just itch that isn't downloading. It's not an internet problem. literally everything downloads in one shot, steam games, game jolt games, even on my ps4 ad the itch app. Its just the browser website that doesn't work. I cant just use the app to download because not every game shows up on the app.
