Forum Downloads denied?

Anyone has an idea why downloads from this forum are sometimes forbidden?
Or rather, how to prevent this prob for all passing visitors?

Just recently 2 users even posted to report about it, but I can't reproduce.
Even with referers and cookies blocked and testing from both KM domains attachment downloads always work for me.

When I try to download the macro from the link in post #1 I get this
Permission denied: links to files in the forum are only allowed from the forum itself.
.

Thinking about it... perhaps a page refreshhelps?
Could be the reason that helped the first one.
And now remember, guess there were little glitches in the past too sometimes, especially when some special prefs (cookies!) were toggled after the page was loaded?

But if so, can it be prevented?
If not, could at least a "Try a page refresh?" suggestion be included in the "DENIED" message?

Probably a bad DNS request or some ISP related issue for the users. :s
