403 error

I get the following error when trying to open any file from the Portuguese course.
403 - Permission Denied

I tried other languages and everything works fine. Is this a temporary problem due to a server overload (which usually happen to every website lifehacker links)?

Best regards

I get the same error for every link I click.
Any ideas?
403 - Permission Denied

You do not have permission to retrieve the URL or link you requested, /Courses/Czech/FAST/FSI - Czech FAST - Tape 01 Side 1.mp3

Please inform the administrator of the referring page, http://www.fsi-language-courses.org/Con ... page=Czech if you think this was a mistake.

I confirm, earlier I could open the Hungarian text file but not anymore. Just learned about this website but think I'll have to wait a little before learning a new language.

Same issue... we need an admin to change the chmod params for the files to 4.

PM sent to admin.

edit: Looks like the traffic from Lifehacker sent you into panic mode. No worries... I'll wait a few days. ;)

I'm getting the same error on all of the content in the German section, with the exception of the student text for the programmed introduction course.

Yep. Lifehacker opened the floodgates and the isp pulled the plug on the courses folder. I'm in the process of seeing what I can do to bring it back.
