I just gave it a try, and you’re right: a simple "wget -O fs2_ogg.zip http://www.freespacemods.net/request.php?128"; does start the download without the 403 error I’ve been experiencing prior to visiting the website. But a subsequent try with game-data-packager does end up with a 403 error again (from the same session, same IP). I gave it another try after editing the freespace2.json file to use the alternative URL, but had no better luck (still failing on a 403 error).
Looks like the URL has nothing to do with the 403 error after all, there might be something going wrong with the way game-data-packager tries to download this file. > Someone else with an IP not in cache must try > "wget http://www.freespacemods.net/e107_files/downloads/fs2_ogg.zip"; > to be sure.

One workaround I can think of is the one used by winetricks when it needs a file that can’t be downloaded without the user doing it manually from some website: it interrupts its process, gives the URL of the page from which to download the file, and a local directory it should be saved to. After downloading the file and putting it in the right place, the next execution of the script will find the file and process it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
