Can't Download Lmms. Keeps On Saying Forbidden.

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
I Don't Know if I'm acting Crazy or Anything

Hi New here. But every time I try to download it. it says connection loss at first. and when I restart it.
it says forbidden right after I press "retry"

I allowed "Automatic Downloads" and still didn't work.
I'm also using Google Chrome and tried it with Microsoft edge and firefox and still
didn't work. I'm using Mcafee Just in case I need to change settings before I download again.

Right now I'm using a browser digital audio workstation and getting pretty tired of it.
So I've here created an account. Posted this forum with my 8th try trying to download lmms.
I'm not saying it's bad I'm just disappointed. I'm using Windows 10 64-bit. If you wanna see my
pc specs I can give it to you.
Hmm. probably try to disable McAfee real-time scanning? try using firefox. look I know
you said it didn't work. but maybe try again. just to let you know this is a stable release
so some machines won't be able to download lmms if I'm correct. or try contacting lmms and
tell them the problem. disable firewall and real time scanning on you mcafee software when you
download it. and once done. turn them back on again. this may be the antivirus trying to
scan the download to see if its dangerous. and probably blocked the download. or perhaps
chrome blocked it. if these don't work then must be your 64- bit machine.

Yes that is a setting either in your virus-scanner or directly in windows10
LMMS is an indie/ open-source project, and not signed-with-microsoft -It would cost us a fortune!

If your scanner has restricted DL for signed-programs-only, then you wont be able to DL, before you disable that.
But afair, win10 installation also acts up, and shows a popup, that appearently only can stop the installation, but all out to the right, and outside the view, there is a button "Install-anyway".

Also i hope this is where you are attempting to download from
https://lmms.io/download#windows

Your specs are not relevant.
Your security-settings are.

Let us know the outcome :)
