   And I'll switch over to serving downloads from an HTTPS site. You're not the   
   first person who has mentioned this problem to me in the past year, so I   
   have no excuse now.   
      
   (Probably no one cares, but the reason why the main Mac GUI site is HTTPS   
   but downloads are served over HTTP is that for most of the history of the   
   site, something like 15 years, downloads were served from a different web   
   server located in a different data center from the main web site. Only in   
   the past 3 years have these two servers been consolidated into one data   
   center, and I've just never upgraded to HTTPS for the downloads)
