What browser are you using? Do you have any ad-blocking programs installed? These are the first of many questions I would ask myself. Good luck!

403 means that you can establish a connection with the responding server (gamefront in this case), but you are not able to access it. It usually just means that you don't have access to it (since you're from Egypt so could be a regional thing) or are forbidden or maybe the page is down

so i guess there is not much to do right ?

Antivirus and/or firewall can trigger this.

Not being logged into your computer as Administrator can also trigger it.

anti virus never gave me problems like this before

Please show us the URL(website address\link) that you're trying to access.

Error 403 is a permissions error. It's as bad as trying to access Steam games at times.

Have you tried it woth your antivirus and firewall disabled? Not recommended, though.

[oss1215]

il try without the antivirus but im afraid that it would have consequences :S

heres the link http://media1.gamefront.com/guploads...36790a6f7b7c86 im tryin do download a submod for broken crescent but i always have 403 forbidden :S

The file is no longer on their server. I just tried your link. Another reason for the 403 error message.

Get another one, post the link with your post. I'll find out.

Heya, I live in Brasil, I also get this 403 problem. Since this P.C. has only something like 6 hours, about, I do not think the Anti-Virus is an problem, because I bought it On-line, and probably I will receive it tomorrow, or something like that ().I think there is something related to where you live, as @Ishan said. The link I am trying to download is: http://www.gamefront.com/files/files..._legion_mod.7z and (I will put the other link in another reply). Thank you for helping!

Gamefront has Brazil and half the world blocked. Read this.

This can't be the reason of the problem.I saw the list of the banned countries,and Egypt is not listed

Is this about you or jkhouri? He says Brazil. Brasil in Portuguese.

It's about oss1215.Ishan says that this may be a regional problem,and I want to say that since Egypt is not listed in the list with the banned countries,it can't be a regional problem

[irishron]

He is not the first Brazilian on this forum to run into this with Gamefront but I have not checked the rest of South America either.

[AntonisTheGreek]

I never spoke about jkhouri.All I wanted to say is that the reason that oss1215 can't access gamefront is not regional

[jkhouri]

I will be trying to contact the Gamefront help central, to see if there are any solutions for this problem.

[jkhouri]

This is an regional problem, if you live in a banned country, try using Hotspot shield, it worked for me

[jkhouri]

Ok, thanks for the list and help @Irishron!
