one thing you have to remmember is that everything is in beta. You should be expectet to run your head agisnt a wall from time to time.
First of all. your game is purchased. that means its yours. If you cant download it right away then you might be able to download it at another time.
2nd. The info you provided would not be sufficiant for people to help you. what browser are you useing? Internet explorer? Firefox? Opera? Safari? Chrome?
There are other people who have had the 403 error also

here you might be able to find a possible solotion. but remmember once again
It is in beta

Thought I'd add a note that we've made some changes to our download system, which we believe should fix your problem with the "403 - Forbidden".
Please let us know if those changes solved your problem, thanks!

DaveGolden, relax bru, this service is still in Beta and they have numerous creases they need to iron out.
In the other thread I mentioned that you have to set your browser's proxy to the SAIX cache:
cache.saix.co.za port 8080
This is a Telkom problem, not a GOG problem. Many people from countries which have an international proxy experience the same thing.
