Connection closed/Forbidden error when downloading from TumblrGallery

[com-network]

I'm trying to download from TumblrGallery but I always get Connection closed/Forbidden errors. Opening the page in normal browser works just fine.

It is currently sending "https://tumblrgallery.xyz/" as Referer when downloading Tumblr media, which makes Tumblr ignore/block the request. You can disable this behavior with -o referer="".
