[discuss] DOWNLOAD PROBLEMS
I have just tried to download your OPENOFFICE software, and after over 3 hours of on-line time to do this, it stopped and reported that the doenload could not continue because it was "corrupted" some how. I don't know what else to do, and I certainly don't want to download a file that has been contaminated by a virus. regards, Doug Carey
Re: [discuss] DOWNLOAD PROBLEMS
If you are downloading from one of the sites from www.openoffice.org, then you can rest assure there are no viruses present. Perhaps a download manager is what your after. Have a look at the download page for further instructions on what and how these download managers work. /paul On 12/30/05, Doug Carey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have just tried to download your OPENOFFICE software, and after over 3 > hours of on-line time to do this, it stopped and reported that the doenload > could not continue because it was "corrupted" some how. > I don't know what else to do, and I certainly don't want to download a file > that has been contaminated by a virus. > regards, > Doug Carey > > - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

They are small price, they are secure and also they might give you more goodies like extra templates, documentation etc. -- Alexandro Colorado CoLeader of OpenOffice.org ES http://es.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It probably hasn't been corrupted by a virus. The error means that the copy you are downloading has become corrupt (damaged) during the download, noisy telephone lines, power fluctuations, or a dozen other causes exist. I recommend dumping the copy you have been getting and starting again. I would also recommend you use a download manager that will restart from a point before where the error occurred. They even allow you to start a download, stop, then finish the download on another day. http://download.openoffice.org/ Download managers are listed halfway down the page. -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

An additional suggestion on top of Michael's is to make sure you have your virus scanner turned off for the download and install. Virus scanners detect changes to files which may be false viruses. If you are downloading OOo from the home webpage or one of the mirror sites, it is unlikely to be any viruses in the files.
