Microsoft download pages broken (lemm.ee)

It keeps showing Internal server error and has been for over 2 hours now. I tested from different locations (China, US, EU) and same errors everywhere. Yet I don't see any news or posts about this anywhere. I have an exchange server that needs installing today and I can't download the prerequisites to even launch the install. Sigh

Got a copy of the broken link?

Anything with www.microsoft.com/en-us/download. Just try to get a c++ redistributable for example. In my case, I'm trying to reach https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34992

The links (aka.ms) seem to work at least - this might not be the exact same package youre looking for

Looks like it's since been fixed.
