Apple's advice is here: How to download macOS High Sierra - Apple Support, i.e. download through the Mac App Store. I believe Apple developers might have direct download links but they're probably not public. Seems odd that you get the same issue with each machine.

Just a guess, but you might try signing out of the app store and then back in again.

Hopefully someone else will read this thread who has better ideas than me. FWIW I've just tried downloading a fresh copy of the HS installer on my Mac and it downloads without issue.
