Anaconda Intel Channel 403's

[AcylSilane]

Describe the bug
Currently, when one attempts to install the package via conda install -c intel scikit-learn-intelex, an HTTP 403 is returned and installation is impossible.

This appears to have also happened last week (see #1913), and the comment chain states the channel had been made accessible again.
Today, an associated PR (see #1932) was merged to fix the issue.

I experienced this a few minutes ago (16 hours after that branch was merged), and haven't tried installing from this channel in about 2 weeks. So, I can't comment on whether this is related to the same problem(s) the issue and PR discuss, or if it is a new problem.

I tested this on 2 separate computers and 2 separate internet connections (with and without a VPN), to confirm it wasn't isolated to just one machine/network.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open up a terminal and activate anaconda (or miniconda)
2. Run conda install -c intel scikit-learn-intelex
3. Anaconda will fail due to a 403.

Expected behavior
Conda reports that the package exists or not, but it shouldn't 403.

@napetrov Could you please look into why the intel channel is not accessible. If this is not the correct forum could you raise the issue in the correct forum.
The intel channel has not been accessible again since 11th July.

We use some packages which are not in the conda-forge channel like intelpython .

@ryan-rozario - there is Intel hosted channel available, please look at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/oneapi/installation-guide-linux/2024-2/conda.html
