Error message on GT

juicyapples

Hi. I've started receiving this message below when clicking on download button on GT. I'm using Chrome Browser on Windows laptop. Any advice please?

usage violation
Make sure, you click on the download buttons from search, browse or details Page
If it still does not work, try using a different Browser

Thanks in advance

Did you try a different browser?

Had to change browsers a while ago.

I started getting this in Chrome today too. When I use Edge it's fine, but I prefer Chrome. Anyone know why it's started all of the sudden?

Same with me. Seems to have happened overnight. As with others, edge seems to work (can't speak to whether other browsers are experiencing this as well), I wonder what's changed??

Same issue here on chrome :-
Download works ok using Opera

It appears to be specific to Chrome as I don't get that on any other browser.

Thanks for reply guys. Pleased it isn't just me getting the error. Yes Edge is working fine. I hope someone can look into this for us. I much prefer Chrome xx

this problem probably appeared with the last update of Chrome. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it here. Neither on my MAC nor on a Windows computer with Windows 10.

Can you send me some more information? Which Windows version do you use and which version of the Chrome Browser?
The problem exists as long as the HTTP_REFERER is passed incorrect or empty.

Same here, I prefer using Chrome but I'm using Edge in till there is a solution

I'm using Windows 10. I updated Chrome yesterday after I was receiving error message on GT to see if it helped with problem. Updated Chrome didn't solve issue.

Thanks

Have been using Chrome for a long time and never had any issues. Tried disabling all the addons and removing all the coockies without any luck. The only thing that I now of is that I allowed a security update before that, so something has to do with that. The only way I can now download using Chrome is to go into Incognito mode, visit the site, log in and then I can download. Not sure yet why..

I've had similar thoughts that it has something to do with a plugin. I cannot reproduce the error here on my computers. It seems not to cause problems with every chrome in the current version…. I hope that it will work again with the next update.

This problem is specific to any browser that has any kind of a download manager plugin installed. If you disable the download manager plugin, the torrent files download properly.

Thanks for the explanation xx

i tried other torrent sites, same as what happens here. it really is a chrome thing. thanks for the heads up about using another browser that is not chrome based.
