Clicking on the download links on the bottom right of the page brings me back to the trailers homepage. Clicking on the buttons apple supplied for the different resolutions don't do anything at all. I hope this can be fixed!

Looks like Steve Jobs no longer wants us to download his trailers. He is requiring the User Agent on the request be that of QuickTime. So as a workaround I installed the "User Agent Switcher" extension in Firefox and added a new UA for QuickTime with the "User Agent" value of:

QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)

The other values don't matter. After switching to the new agent downloading should work again. Not sure if this is the BEST solution, but it worked for me.

I tried what you said and it still didnt work. I think I set it up correctly but maybe I didnt. Do you have anymore helpful hints that may get this working again? Thank you.

Edit: You sir are a genius. I got it to work. Thank you.

Unfortunately you can't change the user agent the browser sends from a userscript. Right now the solution with an additional extension like Switch User Agent seems to be the only possibility.

For some reason this site has disabled my original account so I can't login anymore to change the description accordingly.

use that user agent on your download manager.
For flashget:
Tools => Options => Protocole => User Agent: User Defined!! => User define: QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)

just replace 157 line with this:

insertDownloadLink(url_default.replace("http://movies.apple.com","http://www.apple.com"), res);

I've actually uploaded a fixed version of this script here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/57184. I'm hoping that zatic will update his script soon, at which point I'll take the other one down.

Thank you torman, replacing 'movies', with 'www' was half the battle. you also need to put an 'h' character before the dimensions. for example: http://movies.apple.com/movies/sony_pictures/bo... ==> http://www.apple.com/movies/sony_pictures/boond...

For film clips, a 'w' is needed. Moon: http://movies.apple.com/movies/sony/moon/moon-c... ==> http://www.apple.com/movies/sony/moon/moon-clip...

I used this and it works fine now:

But it works only for small, medium and large trailers, it still does not work for HD trailers
