I tried downding Oracle9i in Windows 2000 server, the speed is still around 45KB/s. However, on the same computer, I can download Windows 2000 SP2 with more than 500KB/s, 12 times faster!! I guess Microsoft will link you to the download site near you, while Oracle has its only one download site no matter where you are located.
