Error Downloading

Apple's system status page says they've fixed the Big Sur downloading problem, but I still get an error when downloading. I've already tried restarting. Is it actually fixed?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Nope, this is still a problem. The installer is trying to download this file for me:

The /private/var/log/install.log file shows a 403 error. Mine just started downloading, but then stopped again. The 403 error pops up when I try to copy/paste this URL into the web browser. That's the issue, I'm pretty sure. Apple needs to fix this.


I'll also send a message to their Twitter feed. Very annoying.
