This wouldn't be so straight-forward, because localized sites may have localized folders; for example, in the Spanish site the folder are https://www.openoffice.org/es/descargar/ "descargar" = download https://www.openoffice.org/es/por-que/ "por-que" -> ¿Por qué? = why (This shows how precarious and primitive is the current way of maintaining the whole thing, where some change in the English download page may brake everything).
