HTTP Downloader

The site requires the Referer header to download the file.

When you add the link to the Add URL(s) window, click on the "Advanced options" checkbox. Click on the "Headers" tab and paste the following into the headers textbox: Referer: https://www.videohelp.com/software/ShanaEncoder

That should solve it.

If you use any of the browser extensions to download the link, then it'll automatically supply the Referer header. It's sometimes the case that manually adding links will fail. Normally it's because some header value is missing.

Thank you very much, Issue resolved by Referer.
