You may want to google "403 Forbidden." There is a lot of information available - what 403 Forbidden is, why it is, and how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Do you get 403 when you try to download mods? BTW, the link you posted in the OP gives you a 403 because it's expired.Nexus only keeps a link 'alive' for some long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Half my reason for reading these posts is I learn something. I need some help here though. CDN? Content Delivery Network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
