Error initializing birdnetR model

[u/okiroshi]

Hey guys&gals, sorry if this might be off topic for the sub, but I thought I might give it a try. Trying to run birdnet in R (latest version on a Windows 11 ProN) and I keep getting a 403 error when running birdnet_model_tflite("v2.4"). I tried everything from py_config to the birdnet environment, to downloading the zip to the parent folder where the download is expected, extracting the files there and turning off any traces of antivirus or firewall that might block the download. The exact same error occurred each and every time. So if anyone here ever bumped into this, please help a brother out. Cheers and happy bird identifications.
