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. 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. 45% 1,008,659,139 -.-K/s in 8h 41m 2012-02-08 10:43:23 (31.5 KB/s) - Read error at byte / (Connection timed out).2012-02-08 10:43:24- (try: 2) Connecting to download.oracle.com 115.112.0.14 :80. Failed: Connection timed out.

Read error (Connection reset by peer) in headers. 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 and to use -c with wget by Brandon Hume John D. Groenveld told me 'You need an Oracle equivalent to Sun's wgetsdlc 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: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 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.
Brian's opinion first, who can ever argue when something is free? I really like the fact that sun made a dvd version available as well.
With the wide availability of dvd drives it's much easier to put the operating system on a single dvd than having to burn and carry around multiple cds to install the operating system. Of course, you do need access to a dvd burner. Sun is making a great move by making solaris 10 open source.
The money is in the support, which is why companies that distribute linux make money. It's no surprise that below the download options for solaris 10 there is a link.
A basic service plan starts at us$120 and is what you need if you want solaris 10 updates. That's not a bad deal when you figure that's for up to 8 physical processors. Best of all, multi-core processors are still counted as a single processor. Does it support nvidia 6800 gts?
What dvd burners are supported etc does not make sense to download if it wont run. – by link please hw support? (9:48am est wed feb 02 2005) who needs hardware support, you have the magic source code. With enough time and effort, you.may. be able to get it to work. It's not like it's actually costing you anything.
– by jqp link please? (9:54am est wed feb 02 2005) are you kidding? If you can't find that hardware compatibility lists what are you doing messing around with the os? Have you tried looking for it? – by cd it will cost me my precious time (9:55am est wed feb 02 2005) you twit – by grown up sun/solaris (9:56am est wed feb 02 2005) these are still the fastest most reliable and most secure computers i have ever had. – by thank you!
Sun has it right (10:00am est wed feb 02 2005) this is the way to do “open source”. One large overseer maintains the product, keeps it running properly, while anyone and everyone is free to change it, and perhaps submit changes to sun, who we trust will properly review the submitted code and ensure that the os is still secure.
If it runs maya, and 3ds max i might consider putting on a comp at some point. – by neat stuff a lot of free power (10:30am est wed feb 02 2005) no one should underestimate the power of the solaris oe either. And that makes it even more amazing that they are offering it for free download. Solaris has capabilities that most other os's can only dream of. – by the scavenger re: sun has it right (12:04pm est wed feb 02 2005) it's too early to tell.
Whether they have it “right” or not will depend to a large extent on the contributions made by others. If noone contributes, all they've succeeded in doing is exposing any features that made solaris unique and might have given it a marketplace advantage.
In any case, look for these things to start showing up in linux real soon. Side note to “grown up”: i guess the sarcasm didn't come through? – by jqp oh man i'm jealous (12:08pm est wed feb 02 2005) if i get my approval for a new sun blade server i'm gonna have to try this.
I need it to run solaris 9 but, but, but oh man i must try 10. That's it, i'll just have to get the x86 version for now and save the negotiating for later.
– by spook ha (12:16pm est wed feb 02 2005) hehehehe still trying to install solaris 8. Shit, have 56k modem. Gonna order the thing. – by bla ho-hum (12:25pm est wed feb 02 2005) i'm a big os geek, like most readers here probably are. I've installed countless linux distributions every flavor of windows and beos my osx box is just kick ass.
But i find it very hard to get excited about solaris maybe it's just because of their ever-annoying scott mcnealy, or maybe it's due to all the fud they've spread over the years, but i really doubt that this will ever be downloaded by myself, let alone installed. I'm sure that this is going to sound like any other mac user raving uncontrollably, but since i've gotten my (dual 2ghz) osx box, i find myself spending less and less time checking out the latest linux developments, let alone the latest windows updates (even though i still have to work on windows a lot, it's via remote desktop on osx). Osx truly is what i've been looking for all along, i feel. Someone else put it best: “osx allows me to tinker when i want to tinker. But when i need to get work done, it just works, with no tinkering required.” it wasn't until i really started spending a lot of time in osx that i realized just how much of my time had been spent tinkering with linux and windows, just to get them to work the way i wanted them to. Osx just does it.
Ok now all the kids who can't afford macs can start with their mac bashing (overpriced, underpowered, blah blah blah). – by a mac convert re: a mac convert (12:41pm est wed feb 02 2005) no, we won't say a word about the macs. Just wondering.
– by woz raskin how rude convert (12:47pm est wed feb 02 2005) “ok now all the kids who can't afford macs can start with their mac bashing (overpriced, underpowered, blah blah blah)” the nerve, going to a solaris article and posting about frickin mac osx, then ending your post with a pre-emptive personal attack against the poeple who prefer another os like say solaris. Rude, unseemly and distasteful. – by cynical bastard mac convert (1:40pm est wed feb 02 2005) what windows tinkering can you possibly need to get work done? Don't be a flame baiter.or a pillow biter either. – by poopchute a mac convert (1:51pm est wed feb 02 2005) i pity you. Solaris 10 has a lot of great features that the mac os may never have. Zfs is a feature that is cool enough for me to want to load it.
Now all the file management can be done from the os and if it works the way they say it will, i can stop paying thousands to veritas. Here is what my sun rep sent me: “solaris 10 is now officially a production release. Download it today and see how solaris can make a difference for you.
If you need a fast, reliable, and secure os to run your datacenter, your web farm, and your business critical systems — then solaris 10 is for you. If you are looking to lower your overall cost of ownership, minimize security risk, and get more from the hardware assets you have — then try solaris 10 today. It will take forever to get it from their one west coast server. – by mrreload rax (4:43pm est wed feb 02 2005) what requirements are you going to use? I've been looking at the hcl. $220 seem like a lot of money for it's own test server.
Have you looked at using vpc? I'm thinking of a w2k server we run a test w2k3 server in vpc. – by tech looks like a nice os (4:36am est thu feb 03 2005) this is a couple of screenshots of solaris 10 and the java desktop. Looks simple and nice. Wonder how well it runs. – by caliber fx heh (10:09am est thu feb 03 2005) i first got there and saw the grey screen with prompt and was like, yep, thats pretty damn simple. Seriously though, the os is nice looking, wonder if that java desktop is really worth a damn though.
– by wondering about java cool (11:02pm est fri feb 04 2005) i got this triple booting on my laptop with windows and linux and it runs pretty nice. I like the java desktop. Just waiting for my ultra 60 from anysystem.com and i can have my sparc solaris box. I hope the full version is out soon so i can test out the native linux app support on my x86.
– by techy78 i want solaries 10 (1:39am est sun feb 06 2005) very argent needed – by mic.lincoln zfs (4:31am est wed feb 09 2005) anyone found it on solaris 10? – by predrag jds and sol10 (6:52am est sat feb 19 2005) the java desktop system is nothing special, just suse desktop system rehashed, better off with suse9.2 imho for enterprise desktop. But at least sun are trying to get a desktop os with the linux tag out there. Havnt tried solaris 10 yet, am getting my ultra60 in a couple of days but man it looks usefull. Project janus on x86 platforms looks very handy indeed. Just need to see if it will keep me from installing freebsd on my sun4u:) – by toms sol 10 is greaaaat!!! (5:52am est sat mar 12 2005) solaris 10 is damn great that's all what i can say!!!
– by mina damm!!! (6:05am est fri mar 18 2005) i downloaded all the 4 iso's and they worked fine except the third. I downloaded the third iso twice using dap 7.2 but when i try to open it the winzip say it is damaged. I'm trying now to download it using sun download manager is there any one managed to download it? – by mon open source and cheap sun hardware (11:42am est wed may 04 2005) with solaris now open source, everyone can really experience the beauty of a mature unix system. Combine that with cheap sun hardware in the secondary market, and anyone can set up a killer machine. I buy most of my equipement from xerxes.
