[libreoffice-users] Re: Failure to Download the new Libreoffice
Hi Cassandra: Please check my posting dated June 26, 2013 and titled Can't locate LibreOffice 4.04 for some comments, and other download links that may work for you. If you could confirm that the error message you received is the same as the one I describe, perhaps that might help someone resolve the issue as none of the LO folks seemed to be able to duplicate the problem. As far as I can tell, this problem has been around for quite a while (since about the introduction of v4 which I think is the first time I encountered it). I have been unable to load LibeOffice from any of the official sites since then, either under Windows or Linux (as it happens, I just downloaded a recent version for Windows this morning and still got the same error message, so went to an alternative site). If any other users have run into this, it might also help if you reported it. Since the late 1970s, I've used probably every word processor known to man, including the early stand-alone machines as well as several proprietary ones, so I can state with some confidence that, although there are in fact some bugs in LibreOffice, I find it much more useful and much less annoying than products like Microsoft Word, so I would say it's worth whatever hassles you need to go through to get it running. It's also able to read and write Word documents (well, at least all but the most complex ones), so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues with your co-workers. Hope this helps ...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Failure to Download the new Libreoffice
CVAlkin, Running Slackware Linux 14.0 (K3.2.29) and using Firefox 17.0.8. I just got on to the Libreoffice.org website and downloaded both the main and helppack RPM tarballs for v4.1.3 with no problem. I notice that they added torrent options. Are you sure you are not clicking on the torrent link, which requires bittorrant to download. I don't know what your browser may do with a .torrent file rather than an http file. There are 3 links in each of the download blocks. Make sure you are clicking on the top line, which is the RPM tarball link, not the torrent or Info links on the second line. HTTP ERROR 504: http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E504.html Note that I understand some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) hinder or prevent bittorrant files. Maybe yours does. I suggest trying the regular tarball, not the torrant file and see what it does for you. HTH. Girvin Herr On 11/01/2013 08:23 AM, CVAlkan wrote: For what it's worth ...

[libreoffice-users] Re: Failure to Download the new Libreoffice
Hi Girvin: Thanks for the response. I've actually tried all of the choices on the main page, but just listed the two smaller links on the right. I get the identical problem no matter what choice I make. I use the .deb format rather than the rpm you tried, so I thought I would just check to see if attempting to download the rpm tar would work and got the following: === HTTP ERROR: 504 Gateway Timeout RequestURI=http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/4.1.3/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_4.1.3_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz === This is essentially the same message, but referencing a different file. I am able to download torrents from other locations with no problem, and am able to load the same deb tar files from other locations, so I don't think it's my isp itself. I called to ask them, and they said they shouldn't be doing anything that would cause this, but who knows? I'm still confused. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Failure-to-Download-the-new-Libreoffice-tp4080683p4080893.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Failure to Download the new Libreoffice
I just download from this page. http://www.libreoffice.org/download-more/ Currently it shows 4.1.3 4.1.2 4.0.6 4.0.5 Actually this page is the easiest one if you have to download more than just one OS and set of help/language packs. I have been using this page since before 4.0.0 ever came out. On 11/01/2013 05:50 PM, CVAlkan wrote: Hi Girvin: Thanks for the response.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Failure to Download the new Libreoffice
Yes, I've used that page in the past, but it links to the same location and gives me the same gateway timeout. Luckliy, others post the required files so that I can access them. When I chatted with a rep from my ISP, he said they hadn't changed anything since I began having this issue (I think it was around the time v4 showed up, but I'm not sure). Since I haven't changed O/S either (I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04), I can't think of what else to look at. But thanks for responding. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Failure-to-Download-the-new-Libreoffice-tp4080683p4080914.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

If so, is it grabbing the torrent information? This is essentially the behavior I have experienced at least since the release of version 4. What changes did you make to your system settings, around the time that LibO 4.0 was released? Assuming that you aren't trying to download the torrent, without using a torrent client, my guess is that a proxy, firewall, or something similar is holding packets just long enough for some of them to time out, but not enough to cause the site to be unreachable. A slightly misconfigured DansGuardian setup can cause the behaviour you describe. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
