Recently i reinstalled Windows on my PC and trying to download Origin I suddenly got this 'Access Denied You don't have permission to access " http://www.origin.com/download  " on this server. Reference #18.46601502.1527788676.11ebbd3' What do I do now?

@Hegoyster Hello,

Did you try to clear your browser cache or use different browsers? Please try to download Origin again using this link: https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/download

Thanks!

Yes, it didn't work anyway

Okay. Can you please clear your DNS cache and then reboot your router/modem (trun off your router, removed power cable for 5 min and turn on the router)?

How to clear DNS cache:

Spoiler

NOTE: Complete these steps using an admin account. You will be typing prompts into the CMD console, so it is very important that you enter the commands exactly as shown.

7. Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
8. Reboot your computer.

Setting an alternate DNS

While a DNS refresh might solve your connection problems, the DNS itself could potentially not be working as intended, and connection issues will continue no matter how many times you flush your DNS cache.

You can check if you DNS is failing by trying to switch to a public DNS like Google DNS. Follow these steps from developers.google.com to set that up.

• Google DNS might actually be slower than your normal DNS, but is useful to test and see if your connection problems are coming from your local DNS.

I hope this help
