Its two years later and I can't download the jdk with the same error message.

I am sitting in Massachusetts.
If Sun/Oracle are trying to kill Java they are on the right track

I experience the same problem. I tried downloading with my old account, and with a newly created account, and with a colleague's account, but all downloads were denied regardless of what I wanted to get (Solaris 10, JDK, etc).

I contacted support and after the first canned response about cleaning caches and cookies, I insisted with the full usage scenario. Consequently, I was told that they tried my scenario and it worked, and that again I should clean the cookies and caches.

A support representative told me over Sun's online chat support that the Download Center was experiencing difficulties and that he was not aware of any ban on downloads from Romania.

Now I'm waiting support to get back to me on a third email I sent asking specifically to check whether my account was flagged in any way or whether there really was a ban for Romania ...

I've been hit with the same download ban problem, just when i was preparing to adopt Java as the platform for my (hopefully) highly successfull commercial product.

I guess i'll give .NET / C# another chance.
