Today, I downloaded libreoffice4.0.4.win32.exe twice. The first time I used the big download link
from the libroffice.org webpage (which first linked to the donation page). I couldn't find the md5
hash on the libreoffice.org website, though I eventually found the md5 hash for the experimental
64bit version (and downloaded it and found the checksum matched that new download). So I googled to
the 32 bit version hash, and found links which all gave a very different checksum beginning f21...,
although the download from the libreoffice.org website said it completed and gave a checksum of
3645B0ACFD2E6A7CA380804723D0C94A. Turns out the download through somthing like nexxus was less than
2 mb. I of course deleted the file as possible malware, but thought you should know.
And suggest that checksums be made available easily on the libreoffice.org for 32bit versions, not
just experimental or 64bit versions. Freeware sites are often targets for malware, as I found out
long ago downloading xbmc.
