  The download server issues are under investigation.  Some actions have been put in place to alleviate the problems, but there still may be occasional unanticipated failures.  We apologize for any inconvenience. 

Things look better here today. I successfully downloaded a random set of Solaris 10 patches, and today's new patches (e.g. 119812-11/119813-13) worked fine, too. 

If somebody reports patch download problems, please always try whether 119254-78 works. If this one doesn't work, it's most probably a problem with the MOS account (or PCA setup) and not a general problem of a patch missing on Oracle's patch server. This will make it easier to isolate the issue. 

Martin.
