how exactly would you download this if it says failed-forbidden and do you know why that shows up.

@densetsu Are you downloading the file from this page? [http://pencil2d.org/download](http://pencil2d.org/download)

If tried to download from there without avail try the direct links from our Github repository, which are used on the download page for the current stable download can be found here as well:

> **[pencil2d/pencil](https://github.com/pencil2d/pencil/releases)**
>
> Pencil2D is an easy, intuitive tool to make 2D hand-drawn animations. Pencil2D is open source and cross-platform. - pencil2d/pencil

If you still can’t download the software form there with such an error (failed-forbidden) it’s possible that you ISP (Internet Service Provider) is actively blocking the Github site itself, and in that case I’m afraid we can’t do much.

You can also try to download a stable development build from October 14th 2018 that actually has more fixes, from our Google Drive repository:
