I want to also get OpenOffice.org developer builds from the iiNet mirror, too, now that I've discovered this exists. (I'm writing/ editing/publishing user guides for OOo3.)

A download of that size really chews into my download limit and takes hours and hours on my connection. :-) I'm very willing to pay a suitable sum to get it without having to d/l it myself.
