I had the same problem. I noticed that the file went to 588 instead of 488 MB like the document said.

It looks as if internet explorer pads the file.

In oracle download help it says to use getright at www.getright.com

I did it and the files come in great. The file sizes match and the gunzip fine.

Good luck to you
