https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/ went down for me earlier today, and I can't find the firmware I need for my Curve 8330 anywhere else online. Does anybody know an alternative to getting the old blackberry software? I have multiple corrupted old phones that need a new OS installed.

I spent searching for HOURS and you provided me the link to paradise! Thank you SO SO much! ❤️
Hey, mind letting me know what worked for you?
I have the exact same model; Curve 8330. I accidentally pressed "Wipe Device" and now it won't do anything, giving me a 507 error. It had OS 4.5 on it before and I have no idea what to download to get it back on.
hey i have the same problem on my bold 9700 i wanted to do the update to os 6 i pressed wipe and now im stuck
Hey!! Maybe I can help! I was able to fix mine
Okay, first install a 9700 OS to your computer. If you need help downloading one, ask this guy.
Then follow the instructions in this video.
You could ask r/datahoarders someone there might have a private archive.

The swdownloads server has been removed from the internet by BlackBerry it seems Monday morning. They've also updated all the legacy notification pages with text similar to: "Downloads for BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry OS devices and legacy Enterprise software is [sic] no longer available." and all the links to BlackBerry Desktop (etc.) software have now been cleansed.
The only sources now will be 3rd parties, which has its risks.
I'm surprised it went down today, as most of their servers were shut off in January.
