HI, Especially if you're on a dialup service, either your browser or your ISP thinks you are timing out. Some only look at what's coming FROM you, not what's coming TO you and thus since you haven't done anything at the keyboard, their timer expires. If it's your browser: Look in Options for the settings that determine when to disconnect due to inactivity. Turn it off for a large download like OOo. If it's your ISP you'll need some sort of a "keep-alive" signal. If you care to download a download-manager, those not only use the keep-alive, but also let you resume where you left off when a download gets stopped for some reason. Sorry, I don't recall the good managers out there, but maybe someone here will have a recommendation. I've guessed that you're on dialup; if you're not, come back with more details to help assess your situation.
