i did not know what to do
and i just selected the file and deleted it
and now when i try to use this method
it is showing error 403
and when i went to my downloads list on google
the link was not there
i want to download that game but i can’t
please can you help
HTTP error 403 means that the download link has expired. And as you have deleted the file, now you can not resume that download. But you can restart the download by going to the website from where you were actually downloading that file and grabbing a new download link.
Thanks,
Thanks for the info.
But I got some other errors: http error 440 and http error 429.
I know what they mean: 440 is an Login Timeout, so I just have to wait a moment before I can resume the download. 429: Too Many Requests response status code indicates the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time, so I just need to wait some time before I can resume the download. Is this correct that I just have to wait some time before I can resume the downloads??
Or are theire more ways to fix these 2 errors??
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ken,
For HTTP error 429, Yes you’ve sent too many requests and the server will not accept more requests from your IP until the time is over. And you can wait until that time or the other option is to use VPN. VPN will change your IP address so the server will process your requests.
And for HTTP error 440 is a login timeout error. This means that your login session has expired and you will have to log in to the website and get the link again. I hope that when you add the new link, it will resume the download. I’ve not tested these myself, but if these works let me know in the reply so, I properly add them to the post.
Thanks,
