Description of my issue:

I cannot upgrade Akeeba Pro from 3.6.10 to 3.6.12. I am trying to do this from the admin backend, It finds the available upgrade but when I click to upgrade, it gives me the following error:

Downloading the update package failed. Make sure that your temp-directory is writable or that you have enabled Joomla!'s FTP options in your site's Global Configuration.

I do have my Download ID plugged into the Component Parameters.

I have made sure my FTP is working and the temp directory is writable.

When I try and manually download the file from the provided link, it gives me a 403 Access Forbidden error.

Thank you,
Jay Yarbrough
