[20:19:07] <Ivoz> can anyone else not access microsoft downloads?

[20:19:11] <Ivoz> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspx

[20:21:33] <ngoldbaum> Ivoz: 404's for me

[20:21:56] <ngoldbaum> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download doesn't though

[20:22:40] <Ivoz> you get a "We are sorry, ...." page though?

[20:23:01] <Ivoz> oh no I didn't

[20:24:05] <Ivoz> Oh they aren't redirecting their own http links to https pages...? T_T

[20:25:31] <Ivoz> arg its just randomly breaking

[20:25:50] <ngoldbaum> Ivoz: on your original link (with and without https) I get the "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found." message

[20:26:24] <Ivoz> I'm also getting it clicking on your https link

[20:26:42] <Ivoz> I'm asking this because I'm trying to get to their Visual C++ compiler for Python 2.7 package

[20:27:57] <Ivoz> I believe it's supposed to be at www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266

[20:28:08] <ngoldbaum> ah indeed, that doesn't work for me either

[20:28:17] <ngoldbaum> man, screw microsoft for breaking links like that

[20:28:43] <Ivoz> ngoldbaum, do you perchance run https everywhere

[20:29:18] <ngoldbaum> not that i know of

[20:29:27] <Ivoz> hmmm it seems to be just randomly breaking

[20:29:59] <Ivoz> I opened it for the first time in firefox; link worked. Re opened it a second time, and subsequent times... "We are sorry..."

[20:30:59] <ngoldbaum> yeah, i'm seeing similar behavior

[20:31:08] <ngoldbaum> maybe they're doing maintanence or something?

[20:31:22] <ngoldbaum> i might raise the issue on distutils-sig if it persists past the next day or so...

[20:31:40] <ngoldbaum> kind of a big deal for windows python users

[20:31:59] <Ivoz> seems sorta site-wide to MS tho

[20:32:14] <Ivoz> you'd *Hope* they'd be aware of it

[20:32:53] <ngoldbaum> seems to be widespread

[20:32:54] <ngoldbaum> https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=microsoft%20down&src=typd

[20:32:59] <ngoldbaum> i see a few tweets about it

[20:33:15] <ngoldbaum> this is also how i check if an earthquake is real when I feel shaking :)

[20:33:20] <ngoldbaum> faster than USGS...
