Been trying to download the following:

Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0)
Enterprise/Standard Edition for Solaris Operating System (SPARC) (64-bit)

for the last two days and everytime it bombs out after downloading a couple of megabytes. Shame the ftp.oracle.com site doesn't have the software really.

I have downloaded 10.2.0.1 several time with different machines. After the download, the file is larger than it should be. The cksum report the wrong number. When I run gunzip against this file, it's not a valid gzip file.

I've got the same problem while trying to download 10201_database_linux32.zip using this link http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle10g/10201/10201_database_linux32.zip. The file has correct size but incorrect checksum. Does anayone know another download mirror or public Oracle ftp server?

Oracle download sites (east, west, uk) appear to be broken. Various errors occur :
- 404 Error : the page you requested was not found
- 500 Server Error
- 0 bytes file download

Same here. Who can we call at Oracle to report the issue?

I need to download the latest Instant Client (basic+sqlplus+odbc). Anybody out there knows of a mirror or could upload it some place where I can download it from?

Thanks.

Appears to have been broken at least 12 hours - I first tried around 22:00 US Central time last night and again just now at 10:00 US Central. Thanks for confirming it wasn't just me ;-} The errors toggled randomly between 404's (which actually displayed an Oracle page saying the problem would be reported) and 500's (generic IE page). Here's the link I was trying to download from: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/download.html. I'll check back for any feedback. Kevin

Its still down? Been trying for the last 2 days... Are you telling me oracle can't just set up a mirror and serve this stuff statically and redirect users? This is ridiculous.

This is really unbelievable, the site is down. Random errors, 0 byte downloads, 10x ask for sign on and then give 404 error. Its like all Oracle ****: Total ****!
I need a 10g database for testing purpose, but it cost me hours to get one (still not found). I had 10g on a Virtual w2k server, but it crashed (Oracle, not the server). Now need 10g on Linux, but are unable to download. My advice to any reader: Don't use this ****, download a decent database (like MS SQL). Amateurs!
If anybody knows sources other than the Oracle servers (which seems to go down on and on), post it!

just read this "Important Note: As of 2:30pm PT Sept. 18, OTN software downloads are currently unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working to restore them as quickly as we can. " at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html

So I guess we have to be patient for a while :)

If the data service on our site stayed down for days, I'd be looking for a new job.

I guess I could always apply for a job at Oracle :)

I've been trying to download 10g Enterprise Edition for 2 days, using east, west and uk download sites. I'm extremely irritated (and behind schedule) that they could have an outage for this long. It makes Oracle look more than a little incompetent if they can't put up a couple of mirrors to download binaries.
