Unless we know the specific mirror: no.
Download wasn't slow for me, but then again
download.documentfoundatino.org / mirrorbrain will redirect to a
random mirror serving the region of the user.

Might be that a wrong geo-ip listing make mirrorbrain pick a mirror
from another country, might be that indeed one of the mirrors in
Germany is slow (but typically they are very powerfull, at least for
VDSL users in Germany they'll always manage to saturate the downstream
bandwidth)

So we need the concrete mirror, and if it didn't pick a mirror from
the expected region, also the IP.
You can also tell the affected people to append .mirrorlist to the
download.documentfoundation.org URL / use the "info" link on the
download page to manually pick a mirror.

e.g. 
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/5.3.1/win/x86/LibreOffice_5.3.1_Win_x86.msi.mirrorlist

Note that there was a hiccup that resulted in only a tiny fraction of
the mirrors being listed, causing too much load on the remaining ones.

The remaining mirrors should pop up in the next minutes.

ciao
Christian
