I downloaded the Release 2 (9.2.0.4) ship_9204_linux_disk[1,2,3].cpio.gz for the nth time:

The decompression errors and checksums follow for each corresponding file:

Did I enter incorrectly for checksum?

I even downloaded and tried gzip/gunzip on Release 1 (9.0.1) Linux9i_Disk[1,2,3].cpio.gz

Same gzip/gunzip problems. However, no checksums were provided to check against.

I even used the following link to get disk 1, 2, and 3 of another version from another post courtesy of OTN.
http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle9i/9201/lnx_920_disk[1,2,3].cpio.gz

Same gzip/gunzip problems. However, no checksums were provided to check against.

The Linux flavor is Fedora Core 1
The version for gzip and gunzip installed is 1.3.3
The browser is Netscape 7.1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1

I am pursuing 9i because 10g is too advanced for my hardware and version 8 is far separated from 9i.

I tried downloading and decompressing 9.0.2 in May 2004, more than enough time for the OTN team to resolve this. Here are my listings.

I have done as much as I could to solve this on my own by searching this forum, googling/google forums, linuxquestions.org, and the web in general. I even redownloaded thanks to cable modem.

I decided to post since I could not find an email support link. Also, I have not seen anything recent (the last month and a half) on this forum that downloading has been fixed. I'll try to provide additional information, but this is as far as I get.

I do not like the idea of abandoning Oracle just because of downloading corrupt files. I may have to.
