I am confused by the sequence you describe. I didn't realise you could open a file in OOo before you have saved it after downloading it (which is why I wondered about the browser). Try downloading and saving the file, THEN open the saved file in OOo. I just tried that (getting a new copy of the file from the website), to see if it was corrupted (sometimes that happens), but it seems to be fine.
