Hello,
Sorry for replying so late. I was just searching my disposable inbox for "portable," not expecting to find anything, and found your e-mail.

I found that LibreOffice Portable is available on CNet's Download.com service (http://download.cnet.com/LibreOffice-Portable/3000-18483_4-75449672.html?tag=mncol;1). However, the version is shown as 4.1, and last updated July 29, 2013. The LibreOffice Portable site on PortableApps.com lets me download version 4.1.3, but the same problems persist. I've cleared the browser cache, tried different browsers (IE, Firefox, and Chrome), and even tried different computers and wireless networks. I get the same result, in which the browser gets the impression that the download is complete, and upon opening the .paf.exe file, I get "Installer integrity check failed." error.
I'm using Windows Vista 64-bit.
Version 4.1 (downloadable from Download.com) downloaded successfully, and I installed it on my flash drive successfully. Did The Document Foundation quit mirroring their downloads off of Download.com?
Thank you.

Hi :)
Did you manage to solve this in the end?  I think the Portable Aps
version is only for Windows.  On Linux it's much easier to install
LibreOffice through any of your package managers although you might
not get the most up-to-date one.

However it is odd that you were having trouble downloading with
Firefox.  Any nonIE web-browser tend to be able to cope better with
intermittent connections.

The only way you could usually improve on that is by using the
torrent.  You probably have a reasonably good torrenting client
built-in to your system so just download the tiny torrent and then
allow your client to use it or else double-click on it when it's
downloaded.  Either way the full download should start shortly after.

It might be even better to try a different mirror but i've not figured
out how to do anything like that.  Most people know but it eludes me
Regards from
Tom :)

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.
