When attempting to download Vortex I get a 403 Forbidden

 

This is the url for the download http://fs-us.nexusmods.com/files/2295/Vortex%20(custom%20install%20location)-1-0-16-12-1541496229.exe?md5=PVH7f4Ql1SA-3i1HY-Rdjg&expires=1543452373

 

 

ISP: Comcast

Country: US - Washington State

Not running a Proxy or VPN only firewall is the built in windows 10 one.

 

System Specs (doubt its needed but trying to be thorough)

CPU: Intel i7-8086K

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z370-F

Network Adapter: Intel i219-V (Built into motherboard)

RAM: 32Gb DDR4-3200

Any help would be appreciated.

The 403 error is nothing to do with Vortex. It's happening on the site.

 

The 403 error happens when you download files with a different IP address from the one you browse the site with. Some ISPs are freaking weird and I've no idea why they have that mechanic. However, our Premium server downloads are tied to your IP address, thus, if your ISP changes your IP address when you go to download, it will throw an error.

 

The fix is to download using the CDN. It should be the fastest method anyway and does not have this issue.

 

You can update your preferred download location in your preferences.
