Hi,
[I am not sure about the appropriateness of the two lists I'm
crossposting for this -- I seem to see a lot of overlap between them
so I feel it might be appropriate on both. Please let me know if this
is not a good assumption. Thanks.]
The metalink links on the P2P download page are not updated for 3.0
yet. In addition,
http://openoffice.mirrorbrain.org/ has all the metalinks, live and
automatically updated. Thus, I suggest to link to them from the
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/
or
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/magnet.html
page.
In the same way that the little "chooser" there offers links
to .torrent files, it could offer links to the .metalink files on
openoffice.mirrorbrain.org.
Alternativele, a simple pointer to http://openoffice.mirrorbrain.org/
might already help some users.
What do you think?
There is also http://borft.student.utwente.nl/~mike/oo/ with a
similar chooser. (Mike from utwente.nl posted about it to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
If I better understand how the mapping from products to download
filenames works, I could possibly come up with a similar chooser for
the metalinks. But since it just needs a different file ending, it
should be much easier to add this feature to one of the existing
choosers.
Peter
