Tim: Just my two cents - I used the method you described up to somewhere around when version 4.x first appeared, but for more recent updates, the donation page is as far as I can go. Since that time, I've never been able to download from the site - no error messages or anything like that - just no download. So, unfortunately, I can't provide any clues.
I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the Firefox browser if that makes any difference. I've read all sorts of reasons why the "official download" might have stopped working, but none of them make sense to me. Luckily there are other ways to obtain LO, although it does seem to be just a little risky to not be getting it from the original source. Because most of the comments I read seemed to suggest that other people have no problem with the "official" page, I just assumed that something was amiss with my system in particular and ignored advice like "try again later" and the like.
