Hi,
did you see http://download.openoffice.org/index.html? There is a link 
called "Peer-to-peer downloads" (http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/).


Enjoy,

[discuss] Download affiliate

[John LaG]

My name is John LaGuardia, I help run the website www.xtremeeagles.net and we 
host many downloads. We are official affiliates of America's Army because we 
host their  2.9 gig free game download and in return we are listed on their 
website as a download affiliate or partner. I was wondering are you interested 
in letting us host your download for a link on your download page stating that 
they can come to our website and get the download. All we ask is that they 
register at our website to obtain the download. Many of the Eagle Team members 
really like and use your product. If you are interested plz shoot me an e-mail 
back and let me know what you thinkThanks !!

[discuss] download

[Pete C. Hamre]

Hi,

I found the whole download process a little confusing. On the main 
download page, the straight download link is in a green box with no line 
through it, while the other 2 options are in a blue box with an 
underlined link. The green download box looks like its a header or title 
for the following 2 options. I thought the only way for me to download 
it was to order a cd or get it through a P2P.

Hi guys,

If you need a download mirror for open office i could give you some

Best wishes and lots of success for all of you at all time.

That is guaranteed with Norton's - false positives are a dime a dozen with the

This and any other problem should be addressed to the
users@openoffice.org mailing list.

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.

Download managers are listed halfway down the page.

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.

I guess that you are using a dial up connection, the best way to get OOo  
if you cant get the program to install is to buy a copy of OOo from your  
national distributor. They are small price, they are secure and also they  
might give you more goodies like extra templates, documentation etc.

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.

The page you want is here (navigated to with one click from the front page):
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0/index.html

You have to answer the three questions on that page, then the download
should start. If not, then report back to the list with specific
error...

Intriguing, but there are also many other things people request, too.
I'd be more interested in including, when we have it, an "extras" button
that takes people to plug ins, add ons, clipart, what have you.

It's nice. :-)

At the moment we are using a page that requests monetary donations only,
and I think we ought to privilege that for regular downloaders, my
reasoning being that these people may just not read to the end of the
options and impatiently click the "continue download" button.  

Thus, a solution would be just to have it a line above the others.
