That looks to be an actual HTTP 403: Forbidden error. Python urllib throws the exception when it encounters an HTTP status code (documented here). 403 in general means: "The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it." You will need to add HTTP headers to identify yourself and avoid the 403 error, documentation on Python urllib headers. Here is an example using urlopen:
import urllib.request
req = urllib.request.Request('http://lolupdater.com/downloads/LPB.exe', headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'})
response = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
With Python 3 urllib.urlretrieve() is considered legacy. I would recommend Python Requests for this, here is a working example:
import requests
url = 'http://lolupdater.com/downloads/LPB.exe'
r = requests.get(url)
with open('LPBtest.exe', 'wb') as outfile:
outfile.write(r.content)

@JakubBláha I updated my answer. It looks likeurllib.urlretrieve()doesn't allow you to set headers. I would recommend using Python Requests, its definitely the more accepted way to do what you are trying to do, hope it helps.
