[libreoffice-website] Can't download LibreOffice Portable - Is the download mirror the problem?

Operating System: Windows Vista 64-bit
Preferred Browser: Mozilla Firefox 26 (latest version)

Hello,
    I am having a problem trying to obtain LibreOffice Portable from 
LibreOffice's website.
Here is a summary of what happened when I tried to download LIbreOffice 
Portable:
1. I went to LibreOffice.org > Download > Portable 
(http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable/).
2. I clicked "LibreOffice 4.1.4 Portable MultilingualNormal" to download it.
3. I got redirected to a URL that I assume is a mirror:
http://mirror.nexcess.net/tdf/libreoffice/portable/4.1.4/LibreOfficePortable_4.1.4_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe
4. Firefox was in the process of downloading the file, just like 
downloading any other file.  But as soon as about 30-40 megabytes of the 
113-megabyte file has been downloaded, the browser got the impression 
that the download was already complete (something wasn't right).
5. I got even more proof when I opened the file.  The PortableApps.com 
installer threw the NSIS Error: "Installer integrity check has failed.  
Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media."
6. I know that:
 - The browser I use does not change the circumstances.  I've tried 
Internet Explorer 9, Google Chrome 31, and Firefox 26.
 - The computer I use does not affect anything.
 - Even different routers stalled the download.
 - The time it takes until the download is stalled is relatively the same.
 - Other files--even much larger files--download without a single 
issue, even the LibreOffice installer.

Using this information, I came to conclude that something is wrong with 
libreoffice.org or the mirror mirror.nexcess.net (more likely the mirror).
The WinPenPack-packaged X-LibreOffice seems to work fine 
(http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1354).  However, it is 
not listed on the LibreOffice website at all.  According to someone else 
(this email was sent over on the Users mailing list):
"The marketing team did discuss the WinPenPack option and decided it was 
a great idea and that there should be a link to it on the LibreOffice    
web-page about Portable Apps."
*This is not a new problem.*  This problem has persisted since 
November!  (See

Since I'm e-mailing the website mailing list, I have one more question: 
What's going on with the constant denial of service (website outages) 
with libreoffice.org?  Is that just scheduled maintenance?
