Marcus, When I right-click on the link and select "save target as", the right-click menu just disappears in my IE 11 (patched up to date). Happens also for KEYS and ASC.
However, I tried Firefox, and right-click save as does work in Firefox, so I was able to download it. (I thought I used to be able to just double-click on these MD5 links, but maybe I'm remembering wrong.) We've been finding more and more IE 11 has trouble with a number of sites, so I won't worry about it. I can use Firefox for this. Anyway, thank you for your help. (The MD5sum did check out against the install file.)

Compared to ASC and KEYS I need to download the MD5 and SHA256 files instead of seeing them in my browser. So, can you right click the links and use "Save As" to download and save them locally? Does it work? Otherwise I would ask the system admin for help. I'm pretty sure it would work when you are at home. So, sending the hash values via mail to your work mailbox can help. Yes, a bit cumbersome ... ;-) HTH Marcus > -----Original Message----- > From: Marcus [mailto:marcus.m...@wtnet.de] > Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2017 11:50 AM > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Cc: David Szott > Subject: Re: Reporting broken download link > > > > Am 25.10.2017 um 19:13 schrieb David Szott: >> I'm on https://www.openoffice.org/download/ (tried IE 11 and Firefox) and >> downloaded the Windows English (US) 4.1.4 full installation executable, but >> cannot get to the MD5 page.
