I want a direct link to download Java 2 SE v1.6.0_01 from the official site. Because I have to make frequent downloads to many systems. It becomes cumbersome to open the browser and download each time.
It is inadvisable to download an older version as it is venerable to threats and security.
Though if you want to download and install you cannot get a direct link as Oracle requires you to accept the license agreement for preceding to download. You may use the link to agree and download the required files.

It would be more advisable to download the latest version from this linkÂ

That is a very old version of the Java Virtual Machine or Java Runtime Environment and that is not recommended because of the bugs and security holes. If you use 32-bit Microsoft Windows, the highest possible version you can install is Java Runtime Environment 8 because this is the last version of the Java Runtime Environment that provides a 32-bit version.
For users with 32-bit Microsoft Windows, download Java SE Runtime Environment 8. Here, two versions are available for download: 8u161 and 8u162. Download Java SE Runtime Environment 8u162 since this is the latest for JRE 8. If you use 64-bit Microsoft Windows, you can download Java SE Runtime Environment 9.0.4.
JRE 9 is currently the latest Java Runtime Environment and it is available only for 64-bit Microsoft Windows. You can also download the 64-bit version of JRE 8.
