NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory data has been having issues since 13 Sept.

A note on the SDO data retrieval website states:

"The SDO web server has had a hardware failure with its data storage, so some features and data are temporarily unavailable. The team is working to restore access as soon as possible. Please refer to the Data Access Page to find alternate sources of SDO data."

In the meantime until repairs are completed, Goes-19's SUVI instrument is a good backup source for live solar images.
