Hi everyone,
Last August, Cor Nouws was so kind as to post my contribution in regard to 'dubious download behavior' with downloading LibreOffice from the LibreOffice download page. See Cor's August 14 post "LibreOffice: Dubious download behavior LO on Windows/IE ?" http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-Dubious-download-behavior-LO-on-Windows-IE-td3252634.html http://www.mail-archive.com/website@global.libreoffice.org/msg05831.html Recently, things are getting much clearer. For the Netherlands, there are two LibreOffice download mirrors, the ftp.nluug.nl mirror and the mirrors.supportex.net mirror. The NLUUG mirror works just excellent (as do all other European and World mirrors that I tried), but not(!) the Supportex mirror. When http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ redirects the Dutch user not to the NLUUG mirror but to the Supportex mirror, or when the Supportex mirror is chosen from the mirrorlist page (via "Get details (md5sum,...)"), a very peculiar download behavior occurs. It then takes a long(!) time till finally the Internet Explorer download manager popup window ('Run/Save/Cancel') appears, offering the download. First I thought the download wasn't offered at all (while nevertheless there was all kind of network, anti-virus, HDD and CPU action), but recently I found out that when you wait a long(!) time the download is finally offered with the IE download manager to pop up. The LibreOffice download from the Supportex mirror is the only(!) download I ever encountered that shows that strange kind of download behavior. You can try it for yourself, using this download link: http://mirrors.supportex.net/tdf/libreoffice/stable/3.4.3/win/x86/LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_install_multi.exe I use Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 32 bit (Dutch) with Internet Explorer (first IE8, now IE9) (Dutch). I don't know whether browser and OS are of relevance in this issue. Can you reproduce any abnormal download behavior with the mirrors.supportex.net download, taking it a long time for the IE download manager popup window to appear? What can be the case with the Supportex mirror? Can the LibreOffice admins contact Supportex in this matter? Thanks very much and best regards, Spiff -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-Dubious-download-behavior-LO-on-Windows-IE-tp3252634p3464886.html Sent from the Website mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
