Oracle Solaris download from OTN with wget

Solaris 10 Update 9 recently announced and I believe this is the first release under the new stewardship. For the first time last month I received an email from my ISP saying I was getting close to my peak download limit, so I am making concerted effort to download in my off-peak time.

So I need to automate the download of recent Solaris release from OTN. Drop this wget incantation into an at job and we are off.

wget -v -c --no-check-certificate "https://profile.oracle.com/jsp/reg/loginHandler.jsp?remoteIp=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx&globalId=&redirectUrl=http://download.oracle.com/otn/solaris/10/sol-10-u9-ga-x86-dvd-iso.zip&username=XXXXX&password=XXXXX" -o getsolarisx86.log &

Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your remoteIP address and the same for your OTN username and password and you should be in business.
