Support Why are you accusing me of this? *Download problem*

[MindGame]

Apparently, my computer is downloading manga from MH by itself without my knowledge, because every single time I want to download a file in zip format, out comes the page with the message:

Forbidden (403)

The server has a limit of 2 downloads at the same time.
Please try again later if you already have 2 concurrent connections.

I don't know what to do. It's been like this for half a day. Is anybody else facing the same problem?

EDIT: found out that this only happens with media3.mangahelpers.com links. help, please!

Having download problems on that server as well... I've been trying to fetch this here for the whole last day... Sometimes, it doesn't even start downloading, and when it does it stops after 15-25%...

 

[Nosgoroth]

Same here, also with media3. I am innocent, I promise! I don't even have any open connections to anywhere...

There's a limit to the number of downloads per ip on our servers. I know some internet service providers put all their clients on the same IP. As you result if you are behind that kind of setup you could have problems downloading.

 

[Nosgoroth]

That is not the case, as I have tried downloading from a fixed IP from a server using ssh/wget, and the same thing happens: a few KBs are downloaded, then the download fails. After the second attempt, I get 403 Forbidden errors

By the way, I have the same problem with the media4 server now.

 

[suko]

i have the same problem also.

If you have some kind of download accelerator, they frequently integrate with your browser. What this means is you will click once on a link and the accelerator will try to open 4 or maybe more connections to the same file. It does this to speed up the download. A lot of servers prevent this. Some may even ban you for repeat offences so accelerators are less common than they were. There are some still out there though that you may have installed.

Check what add-ons you have installed on your browser and if one of them has an option for # of connections, you might want to change it to 1 or disable it if it is not useful.
