Anything special about your Internet access?
Using a VPN or something?
Is it really Ubuntu and not a derivative like Ubuntu Kylin?

I get the impression that you're trying to do that from mainland China.

That domain name is registered to Alibaba, not Cloudflare as the error page suggests, and it resolves to IP addresses belonging to "CHINANET Shanghai province network"

When I download Steam I get this URL: https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/client/installer/steam.deb

I think it's safe to assume that this issue is related to Internet censorship in China.

******This comment has so many words,but English isn't my native language,so I am sorry for some grammar faults.
1.Anything special about your Internet access?
Using a VPN or something?
No,I haven't using VPN that time.It is only a normally WIFI.
2.Is it really Ubuntu and not a derivative like Ubuntu Kylin?
Yes ,it is Ubuntu,not a derivative.
3.I get the impression that you're trying to do that from mainland China.
Yes ,you are right,I lived in mainland China now.Steam has China version,but has no Linux
version .
4.That domain name is registered to Alibaba, not Cloudflare as the error page suggests, and it resolves to IP addresses belonging to "CHINANET Shanghai province network"
When I download Steam I get this URL: https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/client/installer/steam.deb
I think it's safe to assume that this issue is related to Internet censorship in China.
Oh,it seems so strange...The URL was copied form the official website,So I am sure it isn't related Internet censorship.(What's more,If a website was blocked because of Internet censorship,it should be a timeout issue instead of 403 forbidden issue.)But,the launcher app in this github repository's reademe.md can download correctly.
5.Your system may be compromised and facilitating state-sponsored man-in-the-middle attacks, which have lead up to this issue.
It may be,although I haven't found something about this.Thank you for your remind!

******Something I want to say
Err...I test just now with my smart phone and it could be download correctly...I don't know how this happend...(But am sure that time I cannot download it using my smart phone or my computer.)So,this issue should be closed. :)

Again,thanks for your reply!
