Hi
While reading another topic I read that download managers get blocked, and thought it would be a good idea to have that anounced in the downloads sections.
Another common reason for no access to a page are security suites.
When a suite blocks referrer, then the server might not see that this is same computer that hit the button (because it does not get the referrer), and it thinks it is a hotlinked request.
Many sites block hotlinked requests.
I know NIS used to cause this on sites. At my main hangout, I asked the admin he mentioned this.
One solution to the suite blocking referrer is to include driverpacks.net in the list of sites, and allow referrer for driverpacks.net.
Another solution is to "temporarily" disable the security suite while visiting driverpacks.net for downloading files.
I preferred the first. I included the site I want to DL from in the suite's list.
