Trying to download High Sierra Install disk, getting can't connect to app store pop up

I'm trying to download the High Sierra Install disk, getting "can't connect to app store" dialogue box when I follow the link from the Apple website. If I go into the appstore directly, the only OS that is searchable is Catalina.

Don't use Firefox for this link...

If you get a corrupted message...

Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, there are 2 cures...


Disconnect from the Internet & set the Date back to 2014, then you can run the Install MacsOS High Sierra App in Applications, so expired Certificates are not expired.


Or... trash the Install MacsOS High Sierra.app in Applications then a new copy more recent version can be downloaded.
