10g eval download results in bad file

Question

After the third attempt to download an eval copy of 10g, the zip file cannot be opened, but fails with "Cannot open file, it does not appear to be a valid archive."
Other files, such as the "companion" download and work fine.

There's a terrible amount of rubbish in this thread.
while(myStream.read(buffer) != -1){ //this will give the pretest you need for the eof.
//your stuff.
} This is rubbish because the return value isn't stored, so you don't know how much data was returned if EOS didn't occur.
If you're getting reads of length 0... you must have a bug in your code. read() methods do not return zero except via NIO in non-blocking mode.
if you get 10 0's in a rowYou can't even get one 0 in a row, see above.
int read = inFromServer.read(buffer);
if (read == 0)And again. This cannot occur.
The correct way to download a file, or indeed copy any input stream, is as follows:
int count;
byte[] buffe r= new byte[8192]; // or more
while ((count = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
  out.write(buffer, 0, count);
out.close();
in.close();
