Re: wget fails with this url

[address@hidden]

(not sure if reply all is appropriate here)

I tried this from South Africa and I am getting the exact behaviour as the OP. 

I tried a referer and a user agent as from my browser (a well-aged Firefox), 
without changing the result. 

(fwiw: The downloaded audio sounds Italian to me.)

Of course, the 403 is the server's response to what it finds out about the 
requestor in the request. I just wonder what the difference is between the 
browser-generated request and the wget request and how the server could react 
in this way - cookies, maybe?

Works fine for me in Wget. But I'm in Norway and you seems
to be in Italy. So could be a licence/copyright issue.
