Redownloading OSX El Capitan Error 403 Forbidden.

I got this Mac from my brother and he wiped it clean before giving it to me, however when I go to install OS X it gives me 403 Forbidden after I type in my Apple ID. Nothing on recovery disk, I have tried to set the date and time in terminal and tried to connect it direct via Ethernet and no luck.


Anyone figure this out? Its a 2007 Mac

I’m in the same problem on the same iMac but I also already erased my drive. Please help. I’m trying to use this for my needs (it was my dads before)
