Interestingly, I can download the readme of a patch but not the patch itself. For example, 146283-01. As someone mentioned earlier, one difference between success and failure was whether the query got redirected to akamai but perhaps that is a symptom and not a cause.
That's just a symptom. wget connects to getupdates.oracle.com and asks for a certain patch, providing the MOS account for authentication. If Oracle thinks you're entitled to download this patch, it redirects wget at Akamai for the actual download. The problem we see is caused by Oracle believing that you are not entitled to get this certain patch, so it answers with HTTP Error 403 and the connection is closed.
