I also facing this error yet. Version is updated.

There is an already open issue (#20266) about this (which means it's a known problem with no solution yet).

Solution (worked for me every time)

Google "my user agent" and use the --user-agent "YOUR_USER_AGENT_HERE" option in your command-line.

udautkarsh commented 4 years ago

No it doesnot

paulwaldmann commented 4 years ago

No it doesnot

It does. I've just tested it, without the --user-agent it will throw the HTTP Error 403: Forbidden error. Once added, it immediately starts downloading. Also, I've mentioned that this works for me and it does, verified a minute ago.
