Hi :)
Is anyone on the Website's Mailing List and able to let them know
there appears to be a problem?  It might have been solved already or
it might be really easy to fix quickly but only if we let them know we
have noticed a problem.
Regards from
Tom :)

By the sounds of it one of the mirrors is misbehaving.  I'm not sure
how to choose different mirrors but if you can then choosing a French
one or any other non-default one might solve the problem.  Hopefully
the websites team might solve the problem fairly soon.

My initial suggestions were to "scope out" the parameters of the
problem.  Wireless connections are often quite flaky flaky.
Torrenting deals with flaky connections quite neatly by allowing
partial downloads to be continued later on.  To some extent just
normal web-browsers can also help with that but torrenting is very
much better at ensuring you get exactly everything you wanted to
download.  Normal web-browsers are not always perfect at that as they
don't have constant checking and verifications built-in.  Also they
sometimes restart downloads rather than just continuing from whatever
bits they did manage to get on previous attempts.  Internet Explorer
often seems to cause problems but the rest are usually reasonably
good.

I too have tried three times to download LO 4.1.3 en-gb. I am using Firefox
and had no trouble in downloading previous versions. I don't understand «
torrenting » and am not sure that I want to. If life is going to become as
complicated as that then I would just as soon abandon LO and use another
free program.
