High Sierra installer?

When I click the link here to download the High Sierra installer, iTunes says "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store." Is the High Sierra installer gone forever, or is this just a bad link?

It also seems the installer has a time-limited signature. When I run it on a mac where the clock is set to today's date, I get the error "This copy of the Install macOS High Sierra application is damaged, and can't be used to install macOS.".


When I set my system clock back a year (to April 17, 2019), it works fine.
