I started to move my windows builds from Appveyor to travis and I can’t get the unit tests I run to work. At the same time I started to build my project also for linux with the same issue that loading a resource from a specific URL always yields a 403 permission denied.  
I run these tests for month on travis osx machines and Appveyor.

An example URL is:  
[https://download.unity3d.com/download\_unity/6d84dfc57ccf/unity-2017.4.9f1-win.ini](https://download.unity3d.com/download_unity/6d84dfc57ccf/unity-2017.4.9f1-win.ini)

If I curl the file in the build script it works most of the times. But not when I call it from my project.  
I have no issues to execute these tests or the tool in question from any other machine I can test with.

the pull request to add windows support

> <https://github.com/Larusso/unity-version-manager/pull/16>

the pull request to start building on linux

> <https://github.com/Larusso/unity-version-manager/pull/43>

here a failing curl output:

Is it possible that they are blocking our IP addresses?

Sometimes some calls get through in the same test run. I am really lost.
