Unless we know the specific mirror: no. Download wasn't slow for me, but then again download.documentfoundatino.org / mirrorbrain will redirect to a random mirror serving the region of the user. Might be that a wrong geo-ip listing make mirrorbrain pick a mirror from another country, might be that indeed one of the mirrors in Germany is slow (but typically they are very powerfull, at least for VDSL users in Germany they'll always manage to saturate the downstream bandwidth) So we need the concrete mirror, and if it didn't pick a mirror from the expected region, also the IP. You can also tell the affected people to append .mirrorlist to the download.documentfoundation.org URL / use the "info" link on the download page to manually pick a mirror. e.g. http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/5.3.1/win/x86/LibreOffice_5.3.1_Win_x86.msi.mirrorlist Note that there was a hiccup that resulted in only a tiny fraction of the mirrors being listed, causing too much load on the remaining ones. The remaining mirrors should pop up in the next minutes. ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
