403 Forbidden- you need to re-up fella!!
Thank you digimike, excellent share.
There are a number of reasons you get a 403 error. Most have to do with access, which is what that 'Forbidden' message means. Your IP is probably logged or in a range of one that is tagged as spam/malware/etc. related.
I got a 403 error because my security was so tight on the browser. Had to open it up a bit to let the site load. BAM! downloaded it.
Oh yeah, reps to OP!!
Hey Blueboy. I'm assuming that by the Chelsea badge you are in the UK.
That's the issue here. I am in the UK too and I have to use a vpn to get
anything from Zippy nowadays. I use Windscribe free extn. It works great.
Cheers!

@OP:
I reply reluctantly here simply because many folks should be offended by this type of NON-share !!!
You are directing members to get a 1/2 page list (including some malformed links) from zippy;
And this is absurd when you could have just shared it openly with -code- tags, for example.
But instead, now to get this...
- We had to visit zippy (if possible in our country without problems);
- We had to tolerate the fake offers to DL some krappy (malware ??) EXE files 1st;
- We may finally get this list of 18 links that lots of members here already know about.
In closing, there are better file hosts if you MUST share such nonsense - and also, at the very least you could check it carefully to be sure the included links are WHOLE !!
Personal comment=>
I usually give a gift of Rep even if just for making the efforts - but for a thing like this - no way.
Woof.
. I did download just now. Link is working.
Hello,
I want to aplogise for the problems that a number of you are having with this post and I am grateful to all (bar 1) for your generous positive criticism and advice - even at my age, life is for making mistakes and learning from them - that is something (to me) that makes life so interesting!
I am a retired British expat living in Thailand and had NO idea of the problems with some download sites - I can get to them, but as one pointed out, my internet provider might be blacklisted! I am now actively looking at VPN's, etc, and indeed am now using (free) Windscribe, as someone suggested.
As for member smithnowt (you made you comments in public which gives me the same right): you paint a picture of someone (me) of being a slimey, sleezy character up to no good. Well, of course, that is JUST your opinion!
Yes, I thought of putting the links directly into the post, but only after I posted - boy, we are all clever in hindsight! The link to zippy did NOT include anything [extra] from me! I tested ALL of the links before I posted (as I always do) and found nothing untoward and I was satisfied that some members might enjoy my post - NOTHING else was included - directly or indirectly, by me!
By the way, why not just TELL me the better sites I could use - zippy is used by SO many members, I thought that it might be one to use!
Your vociferous comments were uncalled for and your tone and manner leave much to desired from such a senior member. 'Nuff said?!
