I think they changed the way how Java 6 can be downloaded, in a way that
which I don't like.
You now have to go through to a few clicks if you want to download
more then one Java version for different OS.

I dind't know about the http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp url
which looks much nicer, but I fear that this one is now obsolete.
