Hi,

Unfortunelty, its not an issue i can replicate, however, assuming the url is correct, then the issue is possibly on cdn side, it might be flagging the downloader as DOS attempt, i can only specult as to why, but it could just be due to the used user agent.

I can only guess they meant "to hardcode useragent".
