Sorry for the noob question. I use JDownloader and don't know how to do the rest...

Use a VPN to get a new IP address

Half the time you can just open up a different browser

Or new incognito window.

Try changing the user agent.

Depends on ISP but some will give you a new IP if you reboot your modem.

Isn't there a free way to do that?

You can get a free VPN from Proton.

Thank you!

It depends on how they're blocking you. Personally, I'd just let it run through whatever limit until all the files are downloaded.

There are also lists one can find of open proxy servers, they're all probably malicious but if just getting a single file via https... it would be non-incidental to override the certificate check, so these gutter proxy sharks are probably not at that level unless a major state actor wants you.
