When I tried download database, eventuall it fails with 403.

Fails with different files on [https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split](https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split). Last time seen on 21-01-2026 10:11:24.467 UTC on [https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inetnum.gz](https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inetnum.gz)

Hello Alex,

I’ve asked our IT department to investigate.

Hello Alex,

I investigated with our IT department but couldn’t find any more 403 Forbidden responses in the /ripe/dbase/ path on the FTP site.

Can you confirm the issue is no longer happening?
