I have exactly the same experience. I can only recommend using wget with options -t 0 -T 300 -w 0, this will download complete file, and then verify it by zip -T. Wget is command-line utility for both linux and win32, it's a part of popular linux distributions or you can get it from its home: ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/

Of course, the best would be to correct the problem with ftp.oracle.com.
