Impossible to download SAP Gui for Java (7.20)

Hello,

I have been trying for more than an hour to download SAP GUI for Java (7.20), but without luck.

I'm on Linux, and have tried chrome, Firefox and download manager. I'm on a plain internet connection without proxy.

On Firefox and chrome:

1) Went to the market place and chose "SAP GUI FOR JAVA 7.20 -> Linux on IA32 32bit"

On the download tab, I see a list of files, amongst which is "PlatinGUILNX_3-10006060.JAR"

Clicking it brings up a new window, but no download is started, i.e. nothing happens. The link in the new window is

https://smpdla.sap.com/00000331/703/PlatinGUILNX_3-10006060.JAR?object_id=012002523100010356772010D&...

2) So I installed the download manager, prepared a basket from the list at (1) and refreshed. Trying to connect brought up the failure: u201CThe basket content could not be read. [...]

Exception: class dlClient.ResponseParseException

Message: Invalid line in basket content data: <HTML>

Current token:"

(i.e. nothing more after current token.)

Any ideas? TIA

(I must say I'm a little disappointed through how many hoops I have to go for a simple download. The registration was already a bit more complicated than is usual, but I could understand security and administrative reasons. But why is it not possible to provide a simple download link for logged in users which only works for logged in users?)

Hello Joeren,

I am really sorry that we are no longer allowed to provide the anonymous ftp download.

Method 2) is the one which should work for you.

Please have a look at [notes|http://service.sap.com/notes] of component XX-SER-SAPSMP-SDM, in particular [note 401195|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/401195] regarding Download Manager. Did you enter the address of the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com) correctly?

In case you do not find the information to make it work, please create a [support message|https://service.sap.com/message] on the component already mentioned, and someone responsible for Download Manager should contact you.

Apologizes for not being able to provide more assistance in this matter.

Best regards

Rolf-Martin
