How to download?

Hi,
  I've been trying to download the latest LibreOffice. No luck.
It gets about 5%. Its slow then gets "interrupted" and stops. The
torrent does not work. It stays at 0%. Never seen this from a download
site before.

Is there a mirror list?

I tested my connection speed. Its fast.

thanks.

What OS and browser are you using?

Hi :slight_smile:
Have you made sure there is enough empty space in the folder you are downloading to?  Which country are you in?  Do you have a download limit/month and have you gone over that?  Are you using a wireless connection or is there a network cable plugged into the machine?  Have you tried rebooting your router?  Are you using Adblock Plus or some parental thing and accidentally blocked things from this site?

I will try a wget from a wired computer and see, but what should be a 8
minute download never happens. It gets to about 15MB/200MB or so and
gets interrupted on the server side.

I'm using Google Chrome.

Hi :slight_smile:
Sounds like it 'should' be downloading fine.  Do you already have a 2nd web-browser you can try?  Not that it's likely to make any difference.  I think trying the wired machine is smart and covers the issue of weird settings in your Chrome (which is unlikely anyway).

Where do you try to download from? Should be http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ and nothing else. The [Info] link leads to alternative locations (torrents and mirrors).

That's it. But the rate from that site is like 62k per second for me.
I'm near Washington, DC. This is the speed coming from the server.

Are there mirrors I can choose from, closer to me or not throttled?
I couldn't find any download mirrors.

WOW - me too- I'm in Maryland, the download usually takes is less the 5
minutes, now reporting 57 minutes...something isn't right.

Sent this to the website ML also - where folks might be able to help.

Ok - it is a particular mirror which is being slow:
http://ibiblio.org

Pick any of the others in the US and the download speed goes right back
to normal.

Hi,

Question.? When I am in the download section of LibreOffice, http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ , how do I find the options of where to download it from. I'm missing something somewhere.

Thank you.

What you don't know the secret handshake :wink:

On the download page, the green download button, click on the link,
lower right hand, "Info".

This will give you a page with, amongst other items, direct links to the
mirrors, those in your region listed first.
