Oracle XE (Express Edition) 10g download broken?
I'm sitting on a sharp consulting assignment and I'm trying to download the express edition of the oracle database from the official site. The download either times out or downloads a zero length file. I've tried this using the following combinations:
1. Latest firefox on Windows XP from Sweden, Europe
2. IE 7 on Windows XP from Sweden, Europe
3. Latest firefox on debian linux in a totally different office in Sweden, Europe
4. IE 6 on Windows XP in Boston, MA, US
with the same result. Firewalls do not seem to be the problem as I am on an unprotected network where I sit. I've called Oracle support twice with following answers:
1. Go to http://edelivery.oracle.com. Result: This site does not carry the 10g version of Express
2. After about 30 minutes "Sorry there is nothing we can do, try posting on the forums".
Both the Western European and the Universal versions seem broken the same way. I did click the "accept" radio button for the license agreement.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm supposed to write a document on Express Edition today and that's hard to do without the actual install file.
Best,
Matias
