Hi :)
The official TDF mirrors might be faster?  I think it depends a lot on how far away the mirror is 
that you are downloading from and also how much it is being used at the time.  So, mirrors from an 
earlier time-zone might sometimes be faster.  It's often worth trying 3 different mirrors and then 
just cancel the ones that look slowest.  

Torrents are often faster and increase in speed if more people are downloading which is the reverse 
of downloading from a single source.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Problem with ibiblio mirror

Hi,

Tried downloading 3.5.1 for Mac OS X (Intel) from ibiblio tonight (
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/tdf/libreoffice/stable/3.5.1/mac/x86/LibO_3.5.1_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg).
Slow as molasses in January; was crawling along, telling me it would take 4
hours to finish. Then tried the clarkson.edu mirror; finished in 5 minutes.

Not sure what's up with the ibiblio.org mirror, but I'd hold off
recommending it as a download site until ibiblio fixes whatever the issue
is.

Thanks for all your work!

yrs,
Thomas
