Links for Mac OS 9 Downloads are faulty!

I like to download Updates for Mac OS 9, but all the download links are faulty!

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1387?viewlocale=de_DE

shows the updates, but after selecting for example 9.2.1:

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1293?viewlocale=en_US

there is the message: page not found.

9.2. asks for agreement, then goes back to the page!

Softwareupdate in the Finder doesn't find anything!

I also like to install an old iTunes for Panther, but there is no possiblity to download:

I reported this to Apple over a month ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet.

I didn't spend much time on Google mainly because it kept taking back to the page on Apple.com with the dead link haha.

Thank you all for this however I am experiencing a 'shrink wrapper' problem when trying to up date my g3 mac (I am getting the downloads on new mac putting them on a USB drive ...plgging this in to old mac and attempting to mount...keep getting this shrink wrapper message so it aint working} interestingly os 9 describes a portable usb drive as a "cartridge" but thats another issue

I feel a bit ****** off I am merely trying to return an old slot loading imac to where it was when I stopped using it but my original install disks are 9.03 and I am not internet enabled on g3

I payed for all this stuff years ago so it should be easy

There is probably a better way to do this:

1 - Download files to the new Mac from http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/apple/ without opening or decompressing etc.

2 - Link new and old Macs with a single Ethernet cable - modern Macs auto-configure so this works as long as one Mac is not too old.

3 - Copy downloaded files to the old Mac.

4 - Double click files on the old Mac - they should open without ShrinkWrap being involved.

If this fails to work you could try opening downloaded files on the new Mac and copying the contents to the old Mac..
