Method 1 (Thanks to @yjsoon for suggesting and @honcheng and @thyechean for testing this.)
1. Go to http://developer.apple.com/iphone and login
2. After logging in, the link is http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action3. Replace http with https in the address bar so it reads https://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action
4. Click the SDK link when the page is being served from the https server
Note: This has been tested on StarHub Maxonline. It will not work if you are tethering on SingTel's 3G network.
Method 2 (Thanks to @echoz for this suggestion)
1. Use a web proxy server.
2. To change the settings, in Safari, go to Preferences/Advanced/Proxies
3. Change the setting. (On SingNet, it is proxy.singnet.com.sg:8080)
Note: This will also not work if you are tethering on SingTel's 3G network.
Method 3 (Thanks to @burnflare for this suggestion).
1. Use tethering with StarHub BBOM.
Method 4 (Thanks to @ronnieliew for this suggestion)
1. Use the StarHub Mobile's USB modem

Nice work Jimmy, method 1 working for me, but why the beep is that so difficult....
Is it a problem with Stinktel, I wonder?
@Jon. Agreed. We shouldn't have to do this. @Mousuke. It's both Stinktel and Starhub!
I have used wget / curl with the .dmg link repeatedly, sometimes it works ... I am on SingTel.
Maybe one should write a loop ;)
Thanks for the other methods!
The 3 methods mentioned doesn't work anymore. Any alternatives guys?
on Starhub MaxOnline.
- The 1st method (https) does not seem to work for me neither.
- Finding a proxy with good performance is an issue to download 2GB
- Thethering on 3G is probably to slow too.
All this is very annoying.
Method 1 worked for me. Funny to see that this is still a problem. I had it back in September. Apple assured me then it was my ISP, but I didn't believe them. But with these posts, it really does look like it's an ISP issue!
tethering work for me, but since the speed is much slower i would have to leave my iphone there overnight, so i cancelled downloading halfway. Hv been facing this problem since day 1, and i managed to download those previous versions simply by keep trying, it's so frustrating, to think that that's the most important thing in creating apps.
i believe the problem lies with the ISP too. anyone tries contacting them?
what a shame.
@Jack. One thing you might want to do after adding a proxy is restarting your web browser. That might help.
@jimmy,
thanks for the advice, i m not downloading the 3.1.3 at the moment, i can still use the older version for apps development, it's ok,
:)

BTW, I just noted that this proxy setting works only on Safari. If you use firefox (or any download manager), it doesn't :-(
(Opening preferences pane in Safari actually opens the global network settings)
Do you know anyone from NUS who hosts Linux Distros?
http://mirror.nus.edu.sg/
Will they offer any help to us?
I'm not sure how legal it would be though...
The downloads were continually failing for me till I set my system to use the Singnet proxy proxy.singnet.com.sg:8080 and using Singnet's DNS 165.21.83.88 and 165.21.100.88 .
I guess it's the same workaround for Starhub Maxonline users.
I found these settings for starhub users, although I haven't tested these out yet:
Primary DNS : 203.116.1.78
Secondary DNS : 203.116.1.94
Proxy Server : proxy.starhub.net.sg
Proxy Server Port : 8080
