Does this also happen when you download exe-files from another site? The only thing 'strange' about download.documentfoundation.org is that the download will not be from that location, but from a different (more 'local') server on the internet. Can you try this link (version addapted to 3.4.2): http://ftp.nluug.nl/office/libreoffice/libreoffice/stable/3.4.2/win/x86/LibO_3.4.2_Win_x86_install_multi.exe -- Luuk -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
