Artstation Cloudflare challenge 403 error

[Bliwi]

This started happening about a week ago, any artstation link I try returns this same error.
After some reserach I found people having the same issue in the past, I tried changing the user agent, pulling cookies from the browser and editing the config file but the error still persists.

Might just be your IP range being blocked:

I have changed my IP address, tried a vpn, tried using mobile data.
Even in a different windows install and the same error still persists.
I believe the problem is in the windows CLI executable.
Unfortunatly I don't have access to a machine with linux to test at the moment.

Update:
My reason for using the exe package was because pip wans't installing packages properly on my machine, but I was able to get it working on a secondary machine through the pip install.
Regardless this error still persists when using the exe.

I have the same issue. Tried VPN, changing useragent, clearing browser cookies, nothing works.

Getting the same "Coudflare challenge .... 403 Forbidden error for this (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/q94Z4R) and this (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/R38AdD). I was able to download other stuff from various Artstation pages just fine yesterday.

UPDATE: Tried a few more artstion pages, including some I managed to download yesterday, and all of them are failing today with that same Cloudfare challenge 403 Forbidden error.
