Re: download error VirtualBox Extension Pack
Hummm. Reading a license that I had from Oracle it looks like Syria is not allowed to use some software. I am not the official source for Oracle though, so this is just for information, but might explain why you can not download it direct.
IX. EXPORT CONTROLS ON THE PROGRAMS: Pressing the "I accept the License Terms and Export Restrictions" button below is also a confirmation of your agreement that you comply, now and during the trial term, with each of the following statements:
* You are not a citizen, national, or resident of, and are not under control of, the government of Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Iraq, North Korea, Syria, nor any country to which the United States has prohibited export.
* You will not download or otherwise export or re-export the Programs, directly or indirectly, to the above mentioned countries nor to citizens, nationals or residents of those countries.
* You are not listed on the United States Department of Treasury lists of Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, and Specially Designated Narcotic Traffickers, nor are you listed on the United States Department of Commerce Table of Denial Orders.
* You will not download or otherwise export or re-export the Programs, directly or indirectly, to persons on the above mentioned lists.
* You will not use the Programs for, and will not allow the Programs to be used for, any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, for the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction.

Re: download error VirtualBox Extension Pack
As I said I don't know. It just *might explain why you could not download it from the original source. The license I got this from was a different Oracle product. You should contact Oracle to find out.

Re: download error VirtualBox Extension Pack
thanks for explaining , at first i thought that the server was blocked by the default proxy, (the page contained a large "Accesses denied") , now i realize the reson behind this denied , any way the extension doesn't contain Direct X 10.0 , which means i will uninstall it any way , thanks for explaining again.
