How do you download that?

I installed Sun Download Manager, but it never works.  Always errors out with
a dialog saying it could not find a file in /tmp.

I tried using the link that isn't supposed to use SDM, and it doesn't work
either.  In fact, it fired up SDM.

Now the Sun download page says the file has already been downloaded, and
won't give me a link to download any more.

They say that to download again, you have to view your download history.
Doing that requires me to login with a sunsolve account.  I do have a login,
but it appears I just get another offering of the same links which didn't
work the first time.

Is there some way to download this using more standard protocols?
