[libreoffice-users] Issues downloading LibreOffice Portable: Possible problems with servers / mirror

Hello,
I was trying to download the LibreOffice 4.1.3 Portable edition from 
LibreOffice.org, and then tried the download from PortableApps.com.
I've tried to download the package using different methods and browsers, 
and the download (which is supposed to be around 113 MB, according to 
HTTP headers) stops (at anywhere from 7.9 MB downloaded to 40.2 MB 
downloaded, in the multiple attempts to download LibreOffice 
Portable).  The browser gets the impression that the download is 
completed.  However, I get an error message when opening the 
"LibreOfficePortable_4.1.3_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe" file, saying that 
the installer integrity check failed.
I know that:

 * I am using a direct connection to the internet router.
 * I got the same, repeating issue every time I tried to re-download
   the file.
 * It appeared as if I were being redirected to a mirror.
 * Nothing is wrong with my "hosts" file
   (%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts).
 * I didn't lose my internet connection.


I've come to the conclusion that something might be wrong with the 
servers of The Document Foundation, LibreOffice, or the mirror 
mirror.nexcess.net.
Is there anything I can do to download LibreOffice Portable without 
these issues, or is something going on on your servers or the mirror?
I also noticed unusual behavior of the LibreOffice website when 
attempting to download LibreOffice Portable, as described below in the 
HTTP headers:
Data I found questionable is marked red, while data that is unusual is 
marked yellow, followed by a note.

When I clicked the download button for LibreOffice, I noticed that it 
goes to the url 
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/portable/4.1.3/LibreOfficePortable_4.1.3_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe.  However, 
I get redirected to a mirror url 
(http://mirror.nexcess.net/tdf/libreoffice/portable/4.1.3/LibreOfficePortable_4.1.3_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe).

When reviewing the headers of the requests, I found some information in 
the headers that is questionable, as seen below.
