Apple developer site buckles following WWDC
Update:Back up now; see update below.Apparently a lot of developers are eager to get their mitts on preview versions of Apple’s next iOS and OS X software.

Having different default protocols has made the use of both Windows and Mac systems on the same network frustrating, since until Apple introduced native SMB support in OS X, users had to rely on third-party SMB support for sharing files with Windows systems.Apple’s inclusion of Windows networking options in OS X has been a great addition to the operating system, but until now it has taken second place to Apple’s own AFP protocol.
