It does kind of look like it disappeared.   You might need to contact the archive or mail the prize master here.

I hope they didn't take it offline due to legal issues ...

Could be

I thought they were going to post it to the UCI machine learning repository after the contest, but it doesn't seem to be there either...

They did post it after the end of the contest. I used it to get a more precise RMSE for our team's submission. Legal issues seem the most probable explanation at this point.

Re: dataset download has been cloesd?

Interesting and somewhat sad feedback from the UCI machine learning repository as to where the netflix prize dataset went to:

"The donor has requested that the data be no longer made available  (for
reasons known to them).    As the UCI ML Repository is entirely
donor-driven, we strive to adhere to the wishes of the data donors."

I guess the legal case[s] are causing an abundance of caution if not a rethink of originally releasing the movie data.
