System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).

Hello,

got following error. Downloader used work for me fine in past. My laic guess this is due to some changes Reddit made recently.

[ERROR]: An error occurred while downloading images for user "someusername". Please try again later. If this error occurs repeatedly, file a bug.

Hi, yes this definitely belongs here. Haven't been maintaining the code for a while now.

Your guess seems correct, either Reddit made some changes, or you exhausted rate limits on accessing reddit. Will check soon
