I receive this error when I try and download Sacred 2 Gold. I am logged in. Anyone else seeing this error?

This could be a temporary server glitch. Try the GOG Downloader instead, as it's independent of the web server. As the Sacred 2 download is rather big, it's a good idea to use it anyway. You can stop and resume the downloads and it provides error checking.

Alternatively, close your browser, clear the cache and start it again. In rare occasion I had access or login issues myself and that usually helped.

Response from GOG...

Hello

Please use the GOG Downloader to download your games. This application uses different means of authentication than browser links, and using it is practically guaranteed to fix this issue.

Our browser download links are IP-based, to accommodate browser download resuming. This works under normal circumstances, but, unfortunately, we have learned that if a user's connection assigns a different IP when connecting to our site, and then a different IP when the actual download is initiated with our file hosting provider, an IP mismatch occurs, resulting in the 403 error. We are currently unable to resolve this issue, whilst preserving our users' ability to resume browser downloads.

It may be possible for your network administrator to modify your network setup so that you are issued the same IPs for both GOG.com, and our file hosting provider's servers, which you eventually get redirected to. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee if this will work, nor if the network administrator would agree to making such a change.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Regards,
JuriJ

I get such stuff after a reconnect (IP changed) and I work around this by starting the download again, taking the new download link and adding it as a new mirror for my already started download in my downloadmanager.

Try refreshing your account page with https://secure.gog.com/account/refresh - this should update GOG's record of your current IP address and allow you to download again.

GOG's download system used to be able to accommodate IP-address changes and still allow resumes, so pushing customers to use the *optional* downloader is not an appropriate fix.
