This is similar to the bug I reported (now fixed) about downloads in 6.7 RC1: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=166356 The announcement was just made about the availability of NB 6.7 RC2. I followed these steps to get it" 1. Go to page listed in the announcement (http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.7/rc2/) 2. Click the "zip file format" link at the bottom of the page 3. Click the link for the ZIP file of the Java SE version (netbeans-6.7rc2-200906050001-ml-javase.zip) 4. This took me to a page which shows the file name and MD5 checksum for the ZIP file. But instead of being prompted to download the ZIP file as expected, it then redirected me to a page with the following error message: Not Found The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it. Please inform the site administrator of the referring page. The URL of the page was: http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.7/rc2/zip/netbeans-6.7rc2-200906050001-ml-javase.zip which is also the url of the "download it here" link on the page in step 4.
I meant to add that there are two versions of the Java SE ZIP file listed on the page in step 3, and in fact, two of almost everything. Half of them have a name which contains 200906042131 while the others contain 200906050001. This is confusing and so my approach was to download the file which appeared to be newer (netbeans-6.7rc2-200906050001-ml-javase.zip instead of netbeans-6.7rc2-200906042131-ml-javase.zip). The older file is available for download, but IMHO, there should only be one version of any file on that page. I also found that the problem affects many of the files with the 20090605 date in them, most notably netbeans-6.7rc2-200906050001-platform-src.zip and netbeans-6.7rc2-200906050001-src.zip.
Tom, can you still reproduce the issue? what was the language (translation) of the download page that you see? what was the language choosen in the "Language" combobox at bottom of the table? Dmitry
Yes, I can still reproduce it and I am even using a different computer on a different network than I was when I reported it. The translation and language are both English. Maybe it was a bit confusing for me to reference the other issue -- that problem was solved. This is a different problem since it affects 6.7 RC2 downloads. To clarify the problem, when I go to this URL: http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.7/rc2/ and then click "ZIP file format", I get this page: http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.7/rc2/zip.html That page lists two copies of most zip files. The files with the 20090605 as part of the name all yield a Not Found error. Jiri Kovalsky later told me that the ones with 20090604 as part of the name are the "real" 6.7 RC2 files, so he would suggest solving this issue by removing the other ones and leaving only the 20090604 files.
You can get all the zips directly at http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.7/rc2/zip/ while I`m working on a fix.
Would be fixed in RC3. http://hg.netbeans.org/release67/rev/174b526b78b7 http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/7f40eb6a1d1a
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200906110201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/7f40eb6a1d1a User: Dmitry Lipin <dlipin@netbeans.org> Log: Issue #166644 Cannot download most 6.7 RC2 versions in ZIP format
I verified that this is fixed for RC3 builds.
