There was an error downloading the MaxMind Geolite DB: Forbidden

Hi Support,

We are experiencing the issue on installing Geolite DB.
We tried uninstalling, deleting the plugin, and re-installing.
The plugin was successfully installed and activated but everytime we do an “Install Geolite DB”, it is always returning “There was an error downloading the MaxMind Geolite DB: Forbidden”.

We also tried what was suggested on the other ticket which has already been marked as resolved, where we uploaded the “GeoLite2-Country.mmdb” file to /wp-content/uploads/wp-slimstat/ folder but it is not working still.

Has our server or IP address been blocked by the GeoLite server?
Is there any way we can verify this.

We suspected we have been banned as we recently installed Slimstats plugin and have the Geolite DB installed too to hundreds of our sites.

Please help.
