Man, there must be heavy demand for Java SE 6 2012-003.
I'm on a T-base 100 line which normally downloads lickety-split (ie, at many MB/s — in fact, concurrently, I downloaded a 3MB file in less than a half second). It's downloading this sucker at ca 22 KB/s !!!
It's been at it for over a half hour now, and there are still 10 min left to go.
Sheesh.

EDIT:
The article HT5242 states that "This Java security update removes the most common variants of the Flashback malware." But after having installed Java SE 6 1.6.0_31-b04-415 (literally uneventfully), no indication was given that it performed such tasks – nothing positive, nothing negative.

Now I ask you: Is that any way to do business?

I also forgot to close my browser (as requested) prior to installation, but the installer didn't chide me for not doing so and didn't balk at installing.
