..diegotrystero:

There's another place to find the exact same URL to download the 'Big Sur' installer.

Among items in this Support article detail, how to create bootable installer for mac.


• How to create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372


Has same url in blue-link namesake, as other article: macOS Big Sur

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-big-sur/id1526878132?mt=12


This is used in situ to create Terminal command; as are other links.


The instruction in this article should not be confused with 'how to

get old versions of macOS'. However this provides unasked answers.


Different instructions; utilize alternate means, to make 'downloadable

installers' ~ (This supersedes 'DiskMaker X" by two macOS versions.)

Should still be working; through app store or itunes store.


And use Safari browser. ~ An issue had been bothersome to

those who'd found their 'secure certificates' were outdated.

..Affected many browsers that use parts of Safari web-kit..


I'd updated my browsers certificates a few days ago; for

Safari. Had mostly used Firefox; sometimes that works.

[Funny how Catalina downloadable-installer link works!]


..One could tell Apple about this; using Website Feedback..

Be sure to Cite Apple's webpage URL issues; with your report.

https://www.apple.com/contact/feedback/ report the page & errors


A few moments ago, I'd reported ^ some details I've heard & know.


Another way would be use Product Feedback: another aspect.

Wonder which third-party browsers could work in Apple's site?


Near 5AM here, need to try sleeping; near 20 hrs since last time.

And I've 200 miles to travel, with inclement mixed seasonal Wx.
