Hi :) No, on 25th June (ie yday) you (Tim) said " >>>> [version 5 of the 3.5.4 DVD .iso file will be available in a few >>>>days " One day later you tell us it's ready! Fantastic! Sure, we expect a delay between the official LO release date and it appearing in repos and on tailored Dvds because we know a lot of work goes into preparing these sorts of things.
My repos for Ubuntu 10.04 are still giving me 3.4.6 (which i am still very happy with). Your Dvds are ahead of one of the largest community-based projects that have tons of people working on these sorts of things (hopefully). Just accept the compliment! You've earned it :) Regards from Tom :) --- On Tue, 26/6/12, webmaster-Kracked_P_P <webmas...@krackedpress.com> wrote: From: webmaster-Kracked_P_P <webmas...@krackedpress.com> Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Downloading LibreOffice To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Tuesday, 26 June, 2012, 22:04 I was just waiting for the file to migrate to all the mirrors and then they would have the file shown on the download page. It can take a day or four, depending on how long the mirrors take to sync up. So I uploaded it, waited for it to be placed in the mirrored folder[s], and waited for the system to show it. My only part is the uploading. Everything else is depending on others and their systems. The week or few was the fact that I had it ready but between bandwidth commitments and being sick, I could not upload it for about a week after I created it. It does take over 9 hours to upload these DVDs, with my limit of 120 +/- KB/s uploading. My download speeds can be over 10 MB/s. I am paying for 1 MB/s uploading, but the building would need to replace all of the cables that were poured in concrete walls in 1975-76 in order to get that, or so I suspect. Even the telephone lines would have problems with dealing with half the DSL speeds that I would be paying for if I went that route. So, it takes a day or night to do the uploading and committing all my bandwidth to that cause, since even browsing need some uploading of returned data for the packet queries.
