I said do not take the rpm file, instead the self extracting binary.
The download is 40 megabytes, so it takes a while.
I think they mean you to click on the file name with the left button in
order to download it, at least it does for me. When you right click on a
link to a web page, it tries to save that page's link, rather than the
binary you want.

Thanks, Dr. Johnson. I believe that will work. I was trying to download
"Linux RPM in self-extracting file" from the website
"http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html";, but seems unsuccessful:
1. after I click a few Accept and I get to "Download
j2sdk-1.4.1-linux-i586- rpm.bin" and I click it. 2. Then it takes about 8
minutes for a webpage come out, first are some text about use agreement,
then some weird characters (with hats, dots, etc.) follow. 3. I click
File and choose "save as". Then the default file type is "web page,
complete (*.htm,*html)", and the encoding is "Western European
(Windows)". Next, the copy speed was very slow and a warning came out for
low virtual memory or something like that. What is the problem? How can I
download it from the above web?
Thanks,
Li
