Q: Where can I download the former ftp.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates content?
Hello!
I would like to get some stuff from what used to be in ftp.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates. Apparently Apple silently removed this ftp site completely.
I found the Australian mirror for the english versions, but I would like to download other language versions of System 7, 7.5 and associated software.
Help highly appreciated!
PowerMac, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier, on various Mac supporting Mac OS 8

I finally found a mirror that lets me browse though the directory listing. The files can then be downloaded from Apple.
This is the mirror: http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/misc/apple/Apple_Software_Updates/
For download from Apple, just replace everyting before “Apple_Software_Updates” with “http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/” and you will get it from Apple directly, not from the mirror.
This solves my problem. The only thing I still don't get is why Apple removed the directory listings…
