|I used the step by step process selection to download. I picked the
|large file size even with a 14.4 connection. The browser being
| used is also Netscape. It took about 3 hours to download, it is
|better just to walk away and not even touch the computer. In fact
|that file was down loaded twice so it could be kept in a different
|directory. the entire install including initial file, temporary files,
|and the installed files seemed like it took up around 136Megs.........
|(72 for the temp and 64 for the install not including win32s).
|The win32s are included in the 16.1Meg file. The installation
|is very easy just be sure you have enough room tool install
|(136 Megs and room for your swap space).
|I hope this was of some help.

Sorry no help but misery likes company. I have the exact same problem. po7win9.exe stops at exactly 27628 bytes. This happens both in Netscape and FTP. I sent a note to the web master at Oracle and they assure me everything is OK, (some consolation). Also, a friend of mine on hti.net experienced the same problem. So at any rate your not alone. The Oracle folks tell me it will be several weeks before the CD-ROM I ordered will be available.
