    so intermittent 403?

    Well ... I can download the tarballs from my browser, but LWP::Simple and LWP::UserAgent are incapable of grabbing then (403 error).
    Is anyone else able to download (eg) http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/x86/Device-USB-516.tar.gz using the browser ? (Or is it just me ?)
    Is anyone else able, perchance, to download that same file using LWP::UserAgent or LWP::Simple ?

    Cheers,
    Rob

        Same result here. wget works. Looks like some server-side abuse filter, perhaps because some asshole has run a DoS tool based on LWP against that site.
