Download issues [message #1135669]

Is there a problem with downloading the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers?
I have been trying for the past 8 hours to download this from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and have been going round in circles, no matter which mirror I try, nothing will download.
Been subscribing to all sorts of messages, donating to all and sundry, but for the life of me, I am not able to download the installation for Mac 64bit.
I am an absolute novice, trying to learn just the basics of Java, but this is getting beyond the joke.
If anyone can assist in directing me to a site where I can download this package, I would be grateful.

regards

Soren

Can you describe the kind of failure? When I download an Eclipse package using firefox after mirror selection I'm redirected to a "Thank You" page and download happens in the background. At the end of downloading the browser should either open the download in your favourite archive viewer, or ask for a place for storing on disk.

I've been surprised myself that the file selection dialog does not appear *before* starting the download.
So depending on your browser, do you see any activity in the download manager?

cheers,
Stephan

My starting point was an app called "Learn Java" from the Apple App Store. Clicking on the link presented in the App, took me to the relevant sites, and I could navigate fine, but obviously something in the App prevented any downloads. I have now subsequently copied the links presented into the browser directly, and have now managed to download and install Eclipse. Now the learning curve can really start.
Similarly, I did not get the same screens presented as are depicted in the download assistance section, but at least everything appears to have come down and installed; time will tell as I fumble my way through.

Thanks for responding
