I had the same problem recently.  On the patch download page, Oracle offers:
   
  "You may also download patches using any FTP client by connecting to 
updates.oracle.com. Connect with your Metalink username and password and read 
the welcome banner for more instructions."
   
  I must've been on that page hundreds of times, but never noticed this 
paragraph until I had an issue with obscenely slow download speeds (i.e < 
7K/sec) and opened up a SR.

  All,

I'm attempting to download a 9.2.0.7 patch for NT. The McAfee virus
scan failed on my machine because of a stupid time limit setting. I
tried downloading thru Metalink.

Is there an Ftp site where I can do this any easier?

Thanks

Tom
