I had a similar issue a few days ago when trying to re-register a
system. I saw the High Touch Beta channels, and those worked, but
although I also saw the RC channels, and had them activated, I was
seeing 403 errors on cdn.redhat.com.

I'll try the RC soon, I just started the download. But I'm already
wondering : Who's idea was it to name the DVD image
"rhel-server-7.0-x86_64-dvd.iso"? There is *no* indication whatsoever
that it's an RC in the name. And I sure hope the final doesn't have
the same name, otherwise we're in for quite a mess... :-/
