Trying to get the Android SDK to work, so I can root my phone. It requires Java, though it doesn't tell me what version.
On the following Oracle JDK 8 page, when I click the radio button to accept the license agreement, and click any of the download links, I get the error "We're sorry, the page you requested was not found."
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
I even tried the pages for the Java 9 and Java 10 JDKs. All of the download links get the same error. I tried with different browsers. I even logged in to the site, as is sometimes required for downloading older versions of the files. What is going on? Are the links working for anyone else? Is it a temporary outage? How can the world go on, if the JDK can't be downloaded anymore? Did everyone switch over to using non-Oracle JDKs? AAAAAHHHHH.
Now I thought to search Twitter. It's not just me; other people are having the same problem:

Well, that's a relief, sort of. But is the world going to end?
So I decided to try downloading OpenJDK instead. Apparently that's made by Oracle too. But why does the main download page say that JDK 9 and 10 are "ready for use", while JDK 8 (Updates???) are "early access"? Eh? At least I found a working download link there.
Update, 2:21pm:
The Oracle downloads are working again now. An Oracle employee posted on this reddit thread that the temporary outage was resolved about an hour ago. That's the only semi-official notice I found about it. No mention of it on Oracle's twitter feed, even though I counted about 20 tweets directed at @Oracle about the problem. Based on the posts on twitter and elsewhere from people getting the 404s, the outage was from around midnight to 2pm (EDT).
