AT&T is notorious for blocking WinWorld servers. I've heard more than a few reports of this-- maybe this is an implication of the repeal of net neutrality?
Politics aside, if you're on an AT&T connection, I would suggest using a proxy of some kind to access WinWorld downloads (but I'm not sure whether the admins would approve of this. Talk to them first).

Perhaps it depends on the location you live in and whether you're using your phone's Tethering/Personal Hotspot function? I know that some cell carriers do block sites over Tethering.
(also note that i'm talking about mobile connections, not home broadband)

There isn't any. My AT&T connection at home doesn't work. My AT&T connection on my phone does. There were two or three people on AT&T that had the problem so people were jumping the gun. I only asked as a way of seeing if that possibly could be the problem.

@Hunterct Please use https://winworldpc.com/download/test to verify that the IP address is the same on both WinWorldPC and the mirrors. Are you by chance on an AT&T connection?

Yeah, I was referring to home internet.
Then it's very likely that AT&T blocks WinWorld over mobile networks (but not home internet).
What's your proof of this?

The fact is that no ISP blocks WinWorld.
About 99% of these cases is aggressive carrier-level NATing which makes your IP address change between the WinWorld site and the mirrors.
A solution to this might come Soon™, as I’m currently testing a new kind of hotlink protection that doesn’t depend on IP addresses.
I use a AT&T Homebase and I am getting errors on all 3 servers
