Hi,
I can not download iso file as it failed after
downloading 1.1 or 1.2 gigs. I tried several
times but each time it failed and the error
messages like "File not found" or "Read error".

My connection is stable (shown 32kbps and 18 hrs
completion time) and I used jdownloader and
flashgot from firefox but failed each time.

Does oracle really want us to download it ?
Is there any torrent file of it?
Is there any other site which hosts this file
which can be downloaded.?

It's becoming really very frustrating.

Any help please.

Wonder if the limit is at your system? Maybe some deal going on there. Might try it again with a live cd and a usb flash drive to store the data and see if it works.

Sun used to have a download manager in java that may still be there.
Might try a better download way or one that can recover from errors and stops.
I am sure there is some torrent out there.

Thanks.

I used sun download manager once upon a time.
I think it is not available now and it's there
then it wouldn't of any help if my connection
isn't fast enough (once disconnected it reset
the peer) but sadly, i have no idea what
rate of speed can qualify a connection a decent
or fast connection.
Now trying with wget and here is the output.
Please see the following...

I've found a solution and the iso download is near to be
completed. I want to share my experience with you and I
hope you don't mind my doing this.

Many people helped me found out the solution.
Thanks to them.

I was asked to use wget by Corona688
<at http://www.unix.com/members/43551.html>
and to use -c with wget by Brandon Hume <alt.solaris.x86>

told me "You need an Oracle equivalent to Sun's wget_sdlc shell script which wrapped wget(1) with the SSL and HTTP Cookie options to SSO authenticate and indicate acceptance of the OTN license for customers and potential customers with limited bandwidth. Here's a first stab:http://blogs.oracle.com/supportportal/entry/use_of_wget_instead_of_downloa"

But I couldn't find oracle's WGET but found instead (by google) the following:

This post was very helpful but slightly different in nature
so I did some R&D with wget and download link.

First wget was initiated by firefox so wget started downloading iso file and printing output on console.
I copied the download link from that output, disconnected that download, started wget manually with -c and download
link which appeared with authentication parameter.
Here is my download link.
wget -c --http-user=myname@domain.tld --http-passwd=mypasswd --no-check-certificate http://download.oracle.com/otn/solar...159b3501fe72a7

I had started download and got disconnection with read error (due to the problem at my network. got ping loss)but started again and it has started at the offset of previously downloaded part.
