Even with the huge increase in hits at the TOAD web page recently, you should never have a problem downloading. I personally download TOAD every morning from work after every new release. :) My ISP uses IIS and generally reboots the servers every morning around 8:00am EST and that may explain your problem.

I agree. But it's not just the tools (albeit, they are limited compared to commercial Oracle tools), but also Microsoft's marketting (I dont want to start that thread here), the ease of setup and administration, etc, in addition to the tools.
