connect.magentocommerce.com seems like it's down

Yes, this is still an issue for me.

Some servers are seeing this.. other are working fine.. go figure.

It has been moved to http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/

I've changed line 127 into file "downloader/template/connect/packages.phtml" from:

<span class="step-count">1</span> &nbsp; Search for modules via <a href="http://connect.magentocommerce.com/" target="Magento_Connect">Magento Connect</a>.

 to:

<span class="step-count">1</span> &nbsp; Search for modules via <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/" target="Magento_Connect">Magento Connect</a>.

and it works

;-)

This only fixes the issue with the link. Not the installer

Even in SSH when i try to install using 

./mage install http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Beecoder_Beeshopy Mage_Downloader

I get this error:

Error:

install: Cannot connect to host: connect20.magentocommerce.com

Does any body have success on installing extensions?

magento downloader when clicking Search for modules via Magento Connect.   it tries to go to http://connect.magentocommerce.com/ which is 403 forbidden. If magent change the server address why not put a forwarder to the new server and have a patch update the location it links to on the updater

I tested on 1.9, and was able to install it.

I think the issue is realated to the Magento verison up to 1.5 ( Channel 1). To confrm this, would you mind providing Magento verison which you are using ?

Using version 1.7

I'm on a new installation of 1.9.1.1 and I'm having this problem too. Tried the modifications mentioned above without succes. Magento connect still trows a 403 error when clicking 'Magento Connect' in the Magentoconnect manager.
Please help!

Hi @wouter13, did you clear cache after making the changes? Clicking Magento Connect should just take you to http://magentocommerce.com/magento-connect if you've changed the link.

Thank you all for the additional info.

Right now the link "http://connect.magentocommerce.com" will redirect you to the Magento Connect home page, where you have ability to search fro extnsions.

We appologize for this issue.
