My main computer is OSX and I use Firefox or Chrome. I think I was
using Firefox on OSX when I had the download problems on OSX. The
Windows computer was also using Chrome and/or Firefox.

Hi :)
Which web-browser were you using to download with? It seems a few
people have had problems with Internet Explorer and 1 had trouble with
Firefox. The Firefox one turned out to be some problem with a company
firewall as the download worked just fine from outside. Did you use
IE at both locations before trying the Torrent at home?

*Subject:* [libreoffice-users] LO Installer Download Problems
I didn't catch all of the recent posts about trouble downloading the LO
installer (and the thread apparently got highjacked to another topic),
but I posted something similar a month or so ago. I had repeatedly
tried downloading the Windows installer and constantly got corrupted
installer files. I am on high speed broadband and never had issues
downloading other installers, including the OSX LO installer. I had
also tried downloading the windows installer at a local charity at which
I volunteer, which has very slow internet. That was spectacularly
unsuccessful also.
I finally was able to download at home using a torrent file. It seems
to me that there has to be something funky about the LO windows
installers that make downloading so difficult. I imagine casual users
of LO aren't going to try to download the darn file repeatedly in order
to get a good download.
