Re: [libreoffice-users] libre office will not download... i only gave a 5 donation is that it

Jim -


Those messages are what I expect if I use http: instead of https:. If 
you only typed in 'libreoffice.org' then your browser may be using 
http:. Have you tried typing in exactly https://www.libreoffice.org/ 
<https://www.libreoffice.org/>'?


If you clicked on the 
https://mirror1.cs-georgetown.net/tdf/libreoffice/stable/25.2.3/win/x86_64/LibreOffice_25.2.3_Win_x86-64.msi link 
then I don't know why it didn't work for you. It worked for me just now. 
But I've never needed to use one of those mirrors. The main LO download 
link has always worked for me.


Which operating system and which Web browser are you using? And what 
country are you in?
