That's absolutely clear, so I already wrote: "(Because: The Apache mirror should not be used.)" The problem with Sourceforge is the fact that the whole site is full of advertising. For me this is only a nuisance, for many users however a problem, because they are irritated. Unfortunately it seems (in the past this was possible) no longer possible to provide a direct link to the AOO file directory at Sourceforge, _so that the download can be carried out without countdown and advertising_.
