I just started hacking a simple download script. I am really no 
developer, so it is really just a very very quick shot, but how about that:

From the official download page, we currently redirect to 
download.documentfoundation.org which involves MirrorBrain. Making 
MirrorBrain show something while downloading does not work easily.

However, how about we simply changed that link to some redirection 
script, that first shows the download page and then invokes the download 
itself?

Here's how this could look like:
http://kermit.documentfoundation.org/DownloadRedirect.php?target=http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/4.0.2/win/x86/LibreOffice_4.0.2_Win_x86.msi

@Admins: Feel free to have a look at the PHP script. I am *really* no 
developer, so please don't laugh. ;-) You'll find it in 
/var/www/sites/kermit.documentfoundation.org/DownloadRedirect.php

Thoughts?
Florian
