I just got my new hard drive and have to install some stuff on it, like iTunes. Problem is, the [download site](http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/) says “We are busy updating the site, please check back in an hour or so…”

What the hell? I want my iTunes NOW! Is there anywhere else I can download it from besides that official site?
