Most probably this is an offtopic for this forum section.

I just tried to download some software from http://www.blackberry.com/developers

I went here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/downloads/EclipsePlugIn.jsp

Clicked on "Download" , entered login/password and get the following message:

**************************************************** ********************************************

HTTP Status 500 -

exception

I suspect that something goes wrong on blackberry site

Can it be fixed ?

I went to the download link you supplied

 http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/downloads/EclipsePlugIn.jsp

filled in my details and went straight through.  I did not need to enter a login/password.  So no problem from my PC.

I'm surprised that you are being asked for the login/password - is this some authentication/proxy server on your network?

There is no proxy in my network.

When I opened http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/downloads/EclipsePlugIn.jsp I clicked on "Download now" button on the top of screen.

After that the following address opened: https://www.blackberry.com/CorpDevZone/login.do

with the following text on the page:

When I login I get the error I have described above.

You are absolutely right.  I just tried from another computer and on that computer, it required me to login.  Obviously I have some sort of cookie on my normal computer which auto logs me in.  I'd suggest you create an account - or another one if the one you currently have is not working.  I think this is a different login to the one for the forum.

Yes, you're right. I registered another email address, and registered another account to download a piece of RIM software.

That's is not too convenient way, but that is one workaround that works.

Thank you, Peter, for assistance.

It sounds like there is an issue with your first account.  You can contact devsupport@rim.com with your account details to investigate this further.
