Let me check. It could be that a link isn't formatted properly. Which page were you on when you clicked to download the game?

I was on Welcome page.
I also get same error when I am on Lesson 1 page, and click on links "Java puzzle ball (Basic Puzzles 1-5), Lab 1 instructions, Lab 1 start state.
Video links work thought on Lesson 1 page.

Yes, links are working now, thank you.

How did you fix this?
-
nevermind, I fixed it. It was due to something wrong with my DNS server and was an easy fix. Just changed the IPV4 DNS server as 8.8.8.8 for preferred and 8.8.4.4 for alternate... and Voila.. it worked

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error
for www-content.oracle.com

That's odd... I'm not able to reproduce this. Is the issue still occurring?

The DNS PROBE FINISHED NXDOMAIN problem was started due to incompatibility of IP addresses with computer DNS. To be more technical, DNS converts all messages from a domain into a form of IP address. The real problem arises when someone enters a URL in their browser; it's up to DNS to find a server with the appropriate server IP address. While in the general case, the search process is directed to the target site, but if the DNS fails, this will produce an error. Changing DNS server to Google DNS or OpenDNS , or remove all cookies and cached files on your browser will help to resolve this issue immediately. Like any other error, there are several ways you can solve these problems by yourself:
- Release or Renew Your IP Address
- Change DNS server
- Restart DNS Client service
- Reset hosts file
- Reset Chrome Flags
- Reset Winsock program
