  First, have you enclosed the URL in single/double quotes?

  The URLs that are generated expire 10 minutes after the page where
they are listed has been rendered.  Attempting to use the URLs after that
(even for eg. 'wget -c') yield 302 redirect to an error page.

  Having said all that, it's still very possible to use curl/wget to
download the content off RHN.
