 * Hi David,
 * All the time i like to update a plugin, i get the following information:
    Update
   Failed: Download failed. Forbidden
 * What can I do?
 * Within the json file I reference to the file:
 *     ```
       "name": "xxxx",
       	"version": "1.1",
       	"download_url": "http://xxxx.net/wp-content/uploads/updraftmanager/1/xxxx-11.zip",
       ...
       ```
   
 * Plugin is set as “Free” and I used the informations on [https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker](https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker).
   
   Updateinformation etc. works fine. Hope you can help me.
 * Thanks and regards
