This could be our fault too. It seems that "localized" is mainly used to
serve these languages (using numbers from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/localized/ ):
pl 9500
nb 3400
da 2700
es 2100
For Danish, the problem is surely coming from ourselves: we are not
listing 4.1.0 at http://www.openoffice.org/da/ (discussed at
http://markmail.org/message/ibhey3f7jt6b7db2 , I'll fix it now so we can
see if the number decreases). For other languages, we should check our
own site first!
I'd like to clean up the "localized", "stable", "extended", "contrib"
and "packages" top-level directories by either
- removing them altogether
- recreate a 3.4.1 folder and remove the others
- recreate a 3.4.1 and an old-OOo folder and remove the others
Breaking existing links is very bad. If people are getting these files,
we can't just remove them. I'd rather work on the causes (let's see what
Danish looks like in one week) and we can add a README.txt or something
if you believe people are browsing the SourceForge file tree and getting
lost; but files are there, they are being heavily downloaded and
removing there immediately would simply cause confusion.

Andrea.
