I just go to the default download page and use the larger list instead 
of the box that guessed which version I need.  I go to the list at the 
"bottom" of the download options, since it shows all of the different 
language packs and the help packs for all of the supported platforms.

I really do not remember seeing a list of the mirrors for places to 
download LO from.

Any help to determine which mirror that I can download from, if any?  Or 
does LO's download page just automatically pick one for you?

This is just a quirk for LO's download.  I use Firefox 3.6.24 on a 
64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, using a broadband access from my local cable 
company.  I have Phone/Cable/broadband package from Time-Warner Cable, 
like for the movies and TV networks, but there is a DSL option available 
from the phone company.

I hope to download and make a 3.4.5 DVD .iso file soon, or as soon as I 
get a chance to download and update the DVD install files, documentation 
files, etc..

I use Firefox 3.6.24 on my Ubuntu desktop, since it is the default one 
for their repository.  I have to gone to Ubuntu 11.x due to their Unity 
desktop.  I hate it.  I would go to Mint, or other distro, but all seems 
to use a Unity or GNOME 3.x style desktop that is not the type of 
desktop environment I like to use.  Actually I use a combination of 
GNOME 2.x desktop and KDE packages/system-tools, but I do not like the 
KDE default desktop itself.  So I am currently "stuck" with Ubuntu 10.04 
LTS.
