Alternative download mirror for Windows hosts

[Technologov]

Due to popular user demand, I decided to establish alternative download mirror of 4.1.0: (Windows Setup)

Alternative Mirror 1:

It is expected to finish my monthly download quota within few hours... so it won't last long.
Create own mirrors and paste links here.

NOTE:
Do not blindly trust third-party mirrors, and always check MD5SUMs vs. the official source:

You can use WinMD5Sum (Freeware Windows MD5 checksumming utility.) to do this check.

I'm wondering why?
The normal DL site seems to be pumping it out just fine and *IS the official DL site. Were you having issues?

[Technologov]

The huge problem with official servers (that happened to me in the
past), is that downloads simply lock-up at n% completed (like 80% or
90%) and never finishes.

It is apparent, that other users experience this very same problem now.

That is because of a new release. Every company, organisation and foundation that produces software has this issue. Most don't want to spend a lot of money on hardware just to cope with high demand when a new version is released. It's a lot cheaper to have one server that can handle x requests at max capacity. The load will drop in just a few days when the early adopters are done downloading it. Then your average Joe can grab it no problem. If you have problems downloading something, have some patience, try it an hour later and if that doesn't work, try it the next day.
It's not like your life depends on it. By providing a 'mirror', which you even stated sucks because it doesn't even allow many requests, you violate the rules Oracle set for the use of the software. If you want to do it properly, make a mirror that has the same country rules as the original server and hosts all the package versions (so not just Windows, but Linux and Mac as well).

Well, current demand is weak anyway, with just 7 downloads, so I plan to bring this mirror down few days from now...

>you violate the rules Oracle set for the use of the software.

And no - I don't violate the rules.
