Sounds like you're trying to download a model from somewhere you do not have permission to download from. If you're trying to download from civitai, note that sometimes you need an API key / token.

https://education.civitai.com/civitais-guide-to-downloading-via-api/

Once you obtain your token which will look something like A5f7MBpqO8Ez, the easiest way to use it is to append &token=A5f7MBpqO8Ez to the end of the download URL you currently have for download.
