Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Installer Download Problems

Tom, thanks for your responses.   When I originally posted about the 
difficulty I was having downloading the installer, the user list gave me 
the impression that there couldn't be anything wrong with the downloader 
and I felt they pretty much blew off my inquiry.  If I'd been directed 
to make a bug report at that time, I would have done it.   It's been 
several weeks now and I'm not sure I recall the details at this point to 
file a bug report.   I will take a look at the bug report link you 
provided and see what information is needed.

Thanks again for your interest.
