I was trying to update my Windows Java to version 5.0 Update 6 to test a software product from Fonality and the online installer wasn't able to connect to Sun Microsystems' Web servers to download the file. I got an error while it was trying to download one of the .CAB files. Chris Lyman over at Fonality joked that Sun has more uptime than IBM. Well, apparently not. I just tried manually installing by accessing the "online" installer files (238KB) and the "offline" installer files (16MB) and neither worked. Guess I will have to wait till Sun fixed the problem with their FTP or HTTP server. Ironically, the Linux download worked.
