The error you are getting, "HTTP Error 403", means Forbidden (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403).

I have no problems accessing the file
(http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/K12LTSP/6.0.0-32bit/updates/ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-4.fc6.i386.rpm)
that is causing you the error. I checked the web server's logs and there
are no 403's, so it didn't come from the web server itself.


My first guess would be that you have a proxy server that requires
authentication and the "403" error is coming from there. I would,
however, assume that this would break other repositories as well.

It could also be a firewall issue. If you want to email me (off-list)
the IP address of your server, I'll check the firewall logs at this end,
make sure there are no routing issues, etc.
