[libreoffice-users] Downloading LibreOffice

Hi Dave :)

Errr, that was your 1st post to the list!  I can guess at your original question which appears to 
have been lost in the ether.  

There are a lot of possible different reasons why downloading doesn't work.  The easiest 
work-around might be to get yoru son to download LibreOffice onto his machine and then make a Cd to 
post to you as a normal small parcel.  Even better would be if he would download the North American 
Dvd for you
http://libreoffice-na.us/

Tim of Kracked Press at the NA project might be able to post a dvd to you but i am not sure how 
much he would charge.  Hopefully he would at least recoup costs from whatever he charged you!  

As for your own downloading problems.  Which Operating System are you using?  Is it an MS Windows 
one, maybe Xp?  Perhaps not Windows at all, maybe Ubuntu?  Mac?  Something else?  

Do you know your hard-drive's size?  More to the point how much empty space is left on the drive at 
the moment?  It might just be that you need to empty your wastebin and the wastebin in your 
emailing system.  

Don't worry if you don't know answers to some or all of those things but if you do know it might 
help us to help you
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Thank you for responding. 
I have a dial-up connection and after 5 or 6 attempts over three days I never got more then 20 mg 
download when the mindspring shut me down.
My son says he can download 208 mg into a CD in less then 10 minutes but...
I am retired now and LibreOffice still lets me play.  
Should I take the computer to Denver and let him try to download into my computer?
Thanks
Dave
