Homebrew package install returns 403 error from downloads.sf.net

Question

---

SOLUTION: I had followed some directions for setting up a remote git repository despite red flags going off in my head:

git config --global user.name "..."
git config --global user.email "..."
git config --global credential.helper oskeychain

I opened up the git config file:

git config --global --edit

and removed the offending entries. Works fine!
