Netbeans 6.8 download doesn't complete

Question

I'm trying to download the Java bundle of Netbeans 6.8 for Mac OS X and Language=English, from here, but after a while it just stops coming.

I've tried to download it with iGetter and without iGetter. Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I can get this version of Netbeans?

I've managed to download Netbeans 6.9 from the same page, but unfortunately it doesn't work with JDK 1.5 which is what I can have with my old macbook.

There actually seems to be an issue with Netbeans 6.8 installer as discussed on this thread.

Answer 1

An alternative Netbeans to use with JDK 1.5 would be 6.7.1, since it's almost as good, except that it's better because you can actually download its installer.
