Hello,
I am trying to download the above version of LO, however, only the language file
for German and the offline help file can be downloaded. It does not work for the
main file for me. Any hints?
Regards

Could be an issue with the mirror selected by algorithm for your location.

Use the "Info" link for the download to choose a different hosting mirror,
and of course check that the HASH value for the installer matches a HASH
value for your download(s).

Alternative is to use the Document Foundation provided archive, and download
from there. The HASH values to check against are also available there from
the "details" link for each.

From the minutes of the ESC meeting on Thursday 22n'd

* Release Engineering update (Christian)
    + 4.4.6
        + another RC requested for 4.4.6, RC2 not announced yet.
        + there will be an RC3 - as final next week.
        + create a tag Sunday/Monday - please review things for that.

So, there were some last minute issues found and fixed with the 4.4.6.2
build (on 19 Oct), so an out of cycle 4.4.6.3 is being prepared. Meanwhile
the 4.4.6.2 build is available from the archive site noted in this thread.

Well with the 5.0--5.0.3.2 in pre-release, folks will need to choose whether
to stay on 4.4, or migrate. If you have a specific issue preventing
migration from 4.4, then from the projects perspective we would like to get
that fixed in the 5.0 branch--or even into the 5.1 branch which is about to
release and Alpha version.

If you choose to stay with 4.4, and use the 4.4.6.3 relese--please
understand that the project will shortly be ending development efforts on
the 4.4 branch moving it to End of Life status. Meaning, that if you have
issues the ability of the project to support your needs will have moved
on--and you'll need to find another source for support. They exist, and are
very high quality--but will have some cost associated. And, some things can
simply not be adjusted or solved.

So, what I'd suggest is that even if you don't move to the 5.0 branch now at
the 5.0.3.2 release build, that you at least test it out. The same with the
5.1 alpha build or even the current daily TinderBox builds of master.

Hope that is clear as to your options.

Regards.
