You don't have permission to access

Hi

When I try to download a file from Ravens all I get is this:

Quote:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /public/downloads/RavenNuke-2_40_00-RC1.7z on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Could anyone help me?

In an effort to thwart bandwidth theft, I have implemented measures to ensure that the download requests are only processed from my site. This mechanism is not compatible with all anti-virus software, download accelerators, and proxies. If you make it through to the download request screen and then get a Forbidden message, the chances are it is a result of one of the three things just mentioned. In that case, you will have to temporarily disable or tweak the settings for those applications to allow the download.

Only tweek I had was DoThemAll extension in Firefox, virus is disabled. Even tried Internet Explorer without any luck.. Also I use no proxy's..

This means its a no go anyways?

No, it just means I don't know the answer. Surely someone might be able to provide a little more assistance.

Its hard to debug a problem that I can't see or touch you know.

Is this happening with every file in downloads?

codsniper · Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 12:48 pm

Yes

jakec · Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 1:27 pm

Have you tried a different browser?

codsniper · Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 2:09 pm

Like I said above, I tried Explorer but no luck

jakec · Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 3:00 pm

Ah sorry missed that. Confused

I suspect it might be a blocked IP range. Maybe someone next to you in your network "neighborhood" attempted an attack that NukeSentinel(tm) stopped and banned the range that you are in. I'll email Raven with a link to this thread so that he can follow up just in case it is that.

Codsniper,

Please PM to me your IP and I will look into it.

codsniper · Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 9:28 am

Done

I don't show your IP being blocked. Are you trying to do a direct download from

or are you using the download link from this site?

codsniper · Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 11:56 am

I'm using the download link in the download section.. No tweaks, direct linking or download program.

Raven · Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 1:54 pm

I cannot find that IP in any blocked lists or ranges. I will keep looking. Itmt, try accessing this site from http:proxify.com , log in and try the download.

Also, just to be absolutely positive it's not anything hung up on your end, please clear your cache and remove your cookies for both sites, close all browser instances and open a new browser instance and try again.

Well really no need on this pc i'm doing it from now cause I just formatted it and have a fresh install....

Raven · Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 7:10 pm

That would not alleviate the cache and cookies as that's ongoing. But, are you saying you were able to d/l it?

codsniper · Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 1:16 am

Nope, not able at all..

I first tried at my gamerig, no luck.. Cleaned out all files and still no luck.

During this time I had just formatted my laptop and installed Win7 for test, then installed Firefox and tried again to get this file, still no luck. Tried Explorer 8 and guess what, no luck.

If you mean there still are files on my laptop that could prevent me from downloading, i beg to differ due to the fresh install on a clean HD without any virus programs or anything else then Win7 + Firefox.

codsniper · Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 1:21 am

Ok.. I got it now.... At work with my work laptop. Dont get it with the same laptop at home, even though at work it goes trough two virus programs, firewall and several routers.

At home Iv tried
private laptop with Win 7 - no luck
work laptop with XP SP3 - no luck
gamerig with XP SP3 - no luck
And that's without any firewalls, virusprograms.. Just ADSL modem straigt to my PC..

Seems to me this site don't like my home IP

No need to beg and no need to differ killing me

Cookies and cache can be store in memory and/or files. It's just good practice to clear them when issues arise Wink

. I am going to write a q&d shell/grep program to scan for your IP but normally the standard tools will highlight the issue. Could/Would you run a tracert from your home machine to ravenwebhosting.com and post it? If you're uncomfortable posting it then please PM it to me.

codsniper · Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 9:49 am

Pm sent again

codsniper · Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 9:52 am

oh, if you check my post history you'll see I had the same problem in 2007 hehe

Raven · Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 10:02 am

I actually have it documented when I released it.
# deny from 80.203.0.0/17 - released 4/12/2007

The tracert helps because it tells me it's a site level issue and not a server level issue. So I will keep digging. Thanks.
