Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Installer Download Problems

Hi :)
Which web-browser were you using to download with?  It seems a few people have had problems with 
Internet Explorer and 1 had trouble with Firefox.  The Firefox one turned out to be some problem 
with a company firewall as the download worked just fine from outside.  Did you use IE at both 
locations before trying the Torrent at home?  
Regards from 
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] LO Installer Download Problems
 

I didn't catch all of the recent posts about trouble downloading the LO 
installer (and the thread apparently got highjacked to another topic), 
but I posted something similar a month or so ago.  I had repeatedly 
tried downloading the Windows installer and constantly got corrupted 
installer files.   I am on high speed broadband and never had issues 
downloading other installers, including the OSX LO installer.  I had 
also tried downloading the windows installer at a local charity at which 
I volunteer, which has very slow internet. That was spectacularly 
unsuccessful also.

I finally was able to download at home using a torrent file.   It seems 
to me that there has to be something funky about the LO windows 
installers that make downloading so difficult.   I imagine casual users 
of LO aren't going to try to download the darn file repeatedly in order 
to get a good download.
