The download page for Macs is improperly configured and says you have to download two files, 
both RC2 and the release version of 3.5.4. Here is what the page currently says (Note it states 
it is a pre-release version. The second file listed is the release version.):

   Download LibreOffice
   This is a pre-release version not meant for genereal use.
   LibreOffice Mac OS X (Intel), version 3.5.4, English (US). Not the version you wanted?
   Change System, Version or Language

   You need to download and install these files in order:
   Main installer
   170 MB (Torrent, Info)
   Main installer
   170 MB (Torrent, Info)
