Help Getting Java 5.x

[offline]

I need to get the following
jre-1_5_0-windows-i586-p.exe
as my copy is damaged. Manual download does not work as
java.com says its busy. Auto download is not an option as
the damaged part prevents this from working directly.

Any ideas?

same issue here. cant get it downloaded. got to be a website issue.

Is that the latest release?

EDIT: getting it now, albeit a bit slower tha normal. It's the one with your name on it, right?

Yeah ViRal1, thats the one. It's working now thanks. Download took 18 seconds; before it was hanging
around .5kb/sec & then stalling.

As runnerman said, must have been a website issue.

If it's fairly new I'd suspect that too many people were downloading.

It's not all that new. I've had it 2-3 months. But it isn't the same one that the auto-download usually uses. Thats 1_4_7 I think.

Offline install:

You want the JRE version (unless you write java programs, then get the JDK version)

*note, update 1 is available (1.5.0.01)

Thanks Skith, I already got it working.

I noticed, but I thought I would post the link to the off line installation file for anyone else that might be interested.

It can be confusing to find the link from sun's site, because there is so much information.
