Can't download

400 bad request Cloudflare error

from WinCustomize Forums

Is anyone else experiencing a 400 bad request Cloudflare error when trying to download from WinCustomize? I am trying to figure out if it's a site issue or on my end. I have cleared cookies and site data and flushed my DNS cache, signed out of Wincustomize, and restarted my computer with the same results.

OK, I just discovered that it might only be with the recent Yahoo Widget v.452 multi; for some reason I am unable to download that.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Just to confirm, I have no issue downloading for Wincustomize.com with Cloudflare connected.

Thank you,

Junior Crooks, could you give it a try with another browser?

Hi Doc, I tried with Brave and with Edge, and the result was the same.

If this problem persists, I'd suggest opening a Support ticket...basj would know the right one. I don't want to misdirect you. Post the url of the content you want to download so ee can test it...it might be a specific problem with that link.

Seems I'm also getting the error when trying that one https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/desktop_gadgets/728/.  

I've asked to see if the creator can try reposting the file.

"I don't understand but I think I included Yahoo Widget in the zip file.

Anyway, here is the google drive link to get it. Install it, copy the previous choosen widget in /documents/my widgets, then double click it. When launched, right clic on it to change location (zip code or name of the town). Prefs is also by right clic."

I guess I was confused; I was thinking that it was a weather skin I was trying to download, as it is uploaded under Desktop Gadgets, but it's really for the old Yahoo widget platform widgetsus.exe, which I already had.
By the way, when I load Yahoo widgets, the weather widget does not work for me; I cannot change location, and even the default location is not showing weather information. 
If this refers to the the widget created HOW TO:

- Unzip.
-Install.
- Copy your prefered weather flavor to /documents/my widgets.
- Double click it.
- Set your location/units, color in prefs.
- You're done.

You need Yahoo widget to run it. Here is google drive link to the last version or get it from google query if you're paranooïd :
It cannot be done because the skin he created cannot be downlopaded, it still gives the 400 error.
