Yes, if you're using a proxy server, incorrect proxy settings in IDM can trigger a 403 error. Go to Options > Connection > Proxy and ensure the proxy settings are accurate and compatible with the server you're trying to download from. Try disabling the proxy temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.
