I tried to fetch OO.o 3.3.0 from
http://download.openoffice.org
This download promised to take 1 hr 20 minutes. I let it run.
Meanwhile I found a link to mirror sites on the bottom of the right
most column on the OO.o page.
This took me to
http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors
where I found that the UK mirror, Virgin Media. This provided me with
a download that was about 10 times faster than OpenOffice.org's
download. It took about 5 or minutes, finishing long before the
OpenOffice.org download. (Same MD5 check sum.)
Weasel Words: My DSL connection claims 7 Mbit/sec. It achieves thaton
a good day. Today is.
I hope this helps some impatient soul.

David,
I'm located in the UK, in the English Midlands, and I've used the Virgin
Media mirror site on a number of occasions, but I find the University of
Kent UK Mirror service
site,ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.openoffice.org/, to be
faster. I find the fastest to be the Irish mirror site at
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/openoffice.org/. Hope you find this
information helpful.
