I am from Karachi/Pakistan. Every time I try to download NetBeans from www.netbeans.org, I get "403 Not Authorized" message. This has happened before - please check out my posts to the NetBeans mailing list related to that earlier issue at the following URL: http://www.techienuggets.com/Comments?tx=19642 I told one of my friends about this problem. He is likely using a different ISP and even he cannot download NetBeans from the NetBeans website. So, it is clear - people from Pakistan canNOT download NetBeans due to some weird problem that keeps popping up from time to time!
Sorry to hear this has come back. Can you pls help us troubleshoot the issue - can you confirm your IP address is still the same (202.154.255.7 in the thread you link to), as reported by eg http://whatismyipaddress.com/ ? Pls also check if that page says anything about proxy servers etc. Could you also visit this URL and copy-paste the output in this issue (or post to me directly if you'd prefer jack.catchpoole@sun.com) : http://customer.llnw.com/traceput.cgi?host=dlc-cdn-rd.sun.com&ticket=507977 Please ask your friend or anyone else you know of having this issue to send the same info, thanks.
- Updates on nbusers list: From http://www.nabble.com/Cannot-Download-NetBeans---Any-schedule--to16530167.html#a16531201 Just wanted to ask when do you think you'll be able to fix this network anomaly. In my opinion, it's a simple matter of blocking/unblocking IPs. Though I have gone though all the legality-related stuff earlier about the same, I wonder why you block IPs in the first place - irrespective of where people are downloading NetBeans from and what harm could this harmless IDE do - as this is just an IDE. I try to download everyday and get a "Not Authorized" message on a daily basis whenever I try to download NetBeans. Please enable downloads, at least, just before you release 6.1 final. From http://www.nabble.com/UNSUBSCRIBE-ME%21-td16583268.html I am unsubscribing! To me, its loads of spam on a daily basis if I cannot download the software!... ...No, it's NOT unsubscribing me. On the contrary, it's asking me to create another account! What for? Please unsubscribe me from this spam! I don't want to receive spam AT ALL! This is plain spam if you don't "authorize" me to download the software! Please check my earlier posts - I just cannot download the software from Karachi/Pakistan! So, THIS IS SPAM!!!!! UNSUBSCRIBE ME! CUT ME OFF THE LIST! - To the reporter: Can you please take a look at previous post by jcatchpoole and reply to it (if you haven't done so already?)
Thanks. To reiterate - it appears a block of IPs is incorrectly being denied access. The only way to fix this is to identify the block, and to do that we need the IP addresses of anyone affected. If you are getting 403/access denied when trying to download NetBeans, please visit this URL : http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and let me know your IP address, and any information listed about proxies. You can mail me directly (jack.catchpoole@sun.com) or enter it here in the issue.
This is now fixed. If anyone has further problems pls reopen or get in touch directly, pls include your IP address and any proxy you might be using.
