The 403 Forbidden error happens when you try to use a download URL that has expired. The download URLs for files only are usable only few seconds after they are generated by our server. If you try to resume a download, or use third party download software then it will fail.

Either download the entire file immediately after clicking the “Download” button on our web interface, or use our app, which will let you pause and resume downloads.

Thanks

You are downloading it through your browser, correct? It might be easier to understand if you can include a screenshot if you are able and a better description of what you did exactly or how you tried to download. 

i do download it on my bowser and sorry i cant give a screen shot and all i do is click down load it then download as normal it then downloads and when it is almost done it says network problem i click resume and then it gives me the forbidden scree

Hmm, what browser are you downloading from and was there any internet disconnect during the time of download. What happens when you download a game around a few megabytes?

im downloading it from google there is no internet problems except for that message before the failed forbidden and when i download a game with 7.78 megabytes it does the same thing

Hmm, does the error have any numerical value assigned to it? Like this.

no its not a problem with the page at all its with the downloa

Still trying to understand what it looks like. Like where on the page does it say the error. Like a pop up or the small text near the bottom where download is with what message. 

its the last one you said

So something like this then?
