[SOLVED] Unable to download Sun Java J2SDK 1.4.2-10

When using Gentoo Firefox 1.0.7 to download Sun's j2sdk-1_4_2_10-linux-i586.bin AFTER ACCEPTING THE EULA... the resultant file download is EXACTLY 15 bytes long.

The content of the file is:

'File not found."

Now, what did I do wrong?

UPDATE: Sun Support replied via email that there was trouble at their FTP/HTTP file server (date: Dec 29 22:39 GMT)

probably nothing, looks like a error on the website, not your browser.

Try again on another day/time.

also that's not the way to install java... I think... but I'm not using sun's java but I believe both are in portage.

Of course, this emerge package is a "F" where one has to download the file due to some web site/EULA restrictions which neccesitate an end-user's click to 'agree.'

The file was ABOUT to be placed into the /usr/portage/distfiles, before I noticed it was only 15 byte in size.

Anyway... This is SOLVED. Sun Site reported via email to me that there is trouble with their FTP/HTTP server.
