The HTTP 1.1 403 Forbidden error indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it. In the context of Internet Download Manager (IDM), it often means IDM is attempting to download a file from a server that has restricted access, either generally or specifically for IDM. It's not necessarily a problem with IDM itself, but rather a server-side restriction.
