I just bought a Nucleo-G491RE board and installed STM32CUBE to start a new project. During the project setup, the IDE downloaded and unzipped stm32cube_fw_g4_v160.zip. Then, when it downloaded stm32cube_fw_g4_v161.zip, this error message popped up. (screenshot below)
Error downloading the following files
stm32cube_fw_g4_v161.zip (HTTP Access Forbidden)
I'd appreciate any help to resolve the error.
Thanks.

Hello @johnsonthie
To fix this problem, ensure that your internet connection is stable, configure any proxy settings within the IDE if necessary, and confirm that no firewall or antivirus is blocking the download. Clearing the IDE’s cache (.stm32cubeide) can also help. Running the IDE with administrator privileges may resolve permission-related problems.
Otherwise, I suggest that you manually download the pack from this link and transmit it to your repository.

Hi Souhaib, thank you for the suggestion. I tried downloading but it also failed (for same reason?) (screenshot below)
I managed to get Nucleo-H723ZG to work with no issue.
