Not true, actually. Since I'm not sure of your geographic location, I can't give you a full URL, however I'd guess there is a mirror site that you regularly use for downloads. Using FTP, the URL would be something like <ftp://<your_favourite_mirror>/pub/openoffice/contrib/iso/en> (or id would be if the new ISOs were put in place). Stefan, if you are reading this, could you please move the uploads over (I've deleted the faulty file, all the md5sums should now match) > and that sort of thing is both time consuming and impractical for me. I have to agree to a point. BitTorrent can be (usually is) quite slow, particularly when compared to FTP. Personally, I usually do an initial download via FTP, and then if the md5sum doesn't match I'll start a BitTorrent download to repair the corrupt parts. > It > will take days for me to download this image and then I will still have to > burn the disks, label them, test them and package them before I can > distribute the first one.
