I do not know. I thought only I had this problem, but for last two or three 
days (it worked like 5 days ago or so) it the extras repository isn't working 
for me too. Sometimes I get forbidden error, sometimes I can refresh it 
normally, but I can't install software from it when I try to do so from 
treminal. Try this in terminal and give us the output:
pfexec pkg refresh

This command should, as far as I know, download latest list of available 
packages from repositories you have installed. 

If you need to install packages from other repositories and you want to use the 
GUI package manager, here is what you should type in terminal:

pfexec pkg unset-publisher extras

extras is the friendly name you gave to the extras repository. If you can't 
remember what it is open the Package Manager. It will be displayed in the 
repository list. 

The abovementioned command will remove extras repository from list of 
repositories available to you. Package manager should now be able to correctly 
refresh other repositories. This is not the final solution, but it should help 
until the extras is fixed.
