Looks like Apple direct downloads are working again if you replace the subdomain. Anyway, I’ve modified our main catalog to automatically switch to using www.apple.com when it detect that direct download is working. When it detects that direct downloads are broken, it’ll switch back to use movies.apple.com and add the yellow alert bar at the top.
As for the blog, I’m going to continue using movies.apple.com. There are plans to add a filter/plugin that’ll automatically switch the subdomain.
Thank you so much for doing this, man. You’re a lifesaver.
Ups, they don’t work for me. I’m trying to download this: http://www.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar-tlrf_h1080p.mov
and it doesn’t work :S
@David, That link works fine for me… Anyone else have issues?
I’ve now enabled Apple links on our blog to automatically switch depending if http://www.apple.com is allowing direct downloads or not.
