Sometimes, you need to learn how to interpret the error code. > HTTP 403 is a HTTP status code meaning access to the requested resource is forbidden for some reason. The server understood the request, but will not fulfill it due to client-related issues. Busted, Google Colab has just been blocked the access. I believed someone has just leeched too much bandwidth, and as a consequence they blocked the IP. #### what to do now? Wait..! It may take days or weeks for the Skillshare giving the access back again. #### How do you know when it is back again? In Google Colab, try this command > `!wget {skillshre_course_url}` if you see “ **Success** ” or a number of 200, you are good to go If you see “ **Forbidden** ” or a number of 403 and IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), meaning that Google Colab is still blocked by the Skillshare ---
