I’m having trouble downloading from some sites. I get a “Hotlink protection active. Download from original site.” error message. How can I fix this?
I’m using the latest stable build of Brave if it helps with anything.

That’s weird. I can still make downloads from that page with Microsoft edge but not Brave and I’m not a registered user.

that cause you have link to the thing you want to download but you shared only the link to the site not to the actual content
and i can not ask you for that link as it could be personal or private stuff

This is used by sites to prevent direct linking to a site, a server side issue (rather than an Brave or browser issue)

The issue only happens in brave. I don’t have the issue with any other browser.

Using the link provided. I get the same Hotlink protection error on various browsers.
Testing in Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Brave
I don’t get the error on edge. Guess I’ll use edge for downloads then.
