I have seen it before, but it has been a few years ago that I have used
Windows as my default OS. Actually it was two laptops XP and Vista back
then. But I heard about the same issue and had it happen, or something
like that, with me a few times on some of my larger files. I was using
broadband back then as well, but changed anti-virus a few times for my
Windows systems since then.

It is a first for me, I download OS's and other large files regularly.
Thanks, again.

I don't know why. Sorry experience suggested it. I have seen this
behavior on 3 different antivirus scanners over the years. All in
Windows OS. No useful user feedback. Not even an event registered to
event logs.
If you download a lot you might see it in other downloads. I answered a
similar question in this forum about a month ago. Same thing.
I can see it in theory. The scanner is looking for "tokens" or sequences
of binary code that are associated with virus / worm executables. It's
not improbable that a huge download, using compression, would generate
enough of similar looking binary string to trigger a false positive.
Why the antivirus scanner doesn't tell you what's happened? Mystery.
I'm glad you got it,
David

That worked. Why does that work?
I'm using Avast 6.0.1367, and it hasn't thrown any flags while silently
killing ONLY LibreOffice Portable downloads.

Try to turn off your realtime antivirus scanner. Unload it or stop the
process.

What's the story with LibreOffice Portable, I've been
trying to
download the file since PortableApps released version 10. It doesn't
matter which site a attempt to download from I end up with an
incomplete
file of 19.9 MB, the downloads start with a file side of 121 MB.
That seems to be a problem with the PortableApps mirrors or your
download
manager.
Try to get LibreOffice separately from
http://portableapps.com/apps/office/libreoffice_portable
In any case you should ask at the PortableApps forum since
LibreOffice or
TDF can't help you on this problem ;)
