I wanted to download the new update 4.1.2 but during installation download directs me to install video converter, without the possibility of refusing I finally agreed, but downloading this application crashes and installation stops. Consequently I can not install the new update due to the imposition of video converter. Best regards Philippe Roig ======================================================================= Is it not time to _*SERIOUSLY*_ review the distribution of our binaries via SourceForge? Rory O'Farrell and others dutifully expend their valuable time advising "unaware" users NOT to click on download links and buttons after they are redirected to the SourceForge mirror page. While commendable, this is a "shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted" approach. No matter what efforts SourceForge make to "weed out" fraudulent and malware links, our mailing lists and forums continue to receive a steady stream of download problem messages from "unaware" users. There is no way to prove this discourages individuals and organizations from using AOO software, but continuously published reports of AOO distributing "unwanted" and/or "malware" programs reflects badly on us and by association the ASF. I have no personal "gripe" against SourceForge and Roberto Galoppini's support in this area is invaluable. However, I do not understand, or find any reasonable explanation, why our download page does not redirect to the ASF's own mirror network: https://www.apache.org/mirrors/ where our binaries are already being served by 200+ mirrors around the world.
