First, thank you for forwarding so much data regarding the failed
downloads. That is really helpful in terms of trouble shooting.
I'm not the most knowledgible person on this list / board.
I hope that either Brian Barker or Rory O'Farrell will chime in.
In my limited experience, in downloading from www.openoffice.org and the
mirror at Sourceforge to which it redirects, one should select the
Operating System which one's machine uses, but beyond that it is not
necessary to select any other "radio button" to download.
Are you running a robust anti virus / anti mal ware program? I wonder if
that may be the issue, and whether that should be suspened / disabled while
on Sourceforge and downloading OO 4.1.1.
What OS is your machine utilizying? What, if any, anti crapware, programs
is your machine running.
Truly a puzzlement.

There are no checksum files that I can see.
I have downloaded 4.1.1 and unpacked it and
looked inside every rpm file to no avail.
The instructions at http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html
are woefully dated and dire need of a full update.
