I don't know how you can request a file from "site.company.com"
and get a response from "registrationcenter.intel.com" but I
assume you are just using "site.company.com" as an example?

At any rate, a few things to try:

Set CURLOPT_USERAGENT to look like a Firefox or IE user-agent
string, some servers don't like to talk to other clients.

Set CURLOPT_REFERER to the URL of the page you clicked on in
your browser, some servers don't like "off-site" requests.

Install the "Live HTTP Headers" extension for Firefox, and try
downloading the file again, to see if there are any cookies or
other "special" things sent along with the request:
