Thanks for the quick repair, Andrea. I started at <http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html> (from the front page), used the sidebar link to Source, which got me to, and then when that took me to <http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/openoffice/4.1.2/source/apache-openoff ice-4.1.2-r1709696-src.zip> and the recommended download didn't work, I stayed on that page looking for what I described.
I concur that a good recommendation comes up for a download link now. If I remember to return to <http://openoffice.apache.org/downloads.html>, I can use "Save Target As" to download the associated asc, md5, and sha256 files. I also found the KEYS file link on that page. (The meaningfulness of web of trust to someone who is not in it is something to ponder later.) That's much better although there is a dissonance when some of the links on a file entry at <http://openoffice.apache.org/downloads.html> go to download pages and others provide files (not downloads) directly to the browser. Much better than getting HTTP 404s though.
