Andrey,

Thanks. I am in states (MA). After seeing your mail, I started using Singapore server. The performance improved dramatically. Earlier I also used to get "time out error".

Dear gurus !

For those of U who use Metalink :

When U go to the home page < http://metalink.oracle.com
<http://metalink.oracle.com> > , U are prompted for the server U want to use
:
USA , Europe or Pacific Asia .

Now , i've discovered that it's fastest to use not "your" server . For example , if U are in Europe , it's faster to use the USA server than the European one .
Why ?
I guess that it's because of the time difference . When it's midday in Europe , it's a night time in the USA , so U are almost the only user of the USA server -> U get the best performance ! :))

I spent some time comparing the response times ( while being in the Europe , the USA and Australia ) and it's always faster to use the server of the region where it's the middle of the night now .

Just FYI .
