Hi Marko,
Now I see why the download links on the Mac download pages no longer
work, even so they _used_ to work. It looks like it was st that
removed the builds.
I have reopened the issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72468 to get the mac
builds re-added to the bouncer.
For other examples of bouncer related issues see:

Since the German builds are already on the mirror network,

To add
the builds to the bouncer, all you do is in the issue that you
state for
the builds to be added to be distributed to the mirror network, is
ask
for the builds to be added to the bouncer. You will then receive
bouncer
links. This is usually done in less than 24-48 hours. This is
around the
same time that it takes for all the mirrors to get the builds,
thus when
they are added at the same time, there is effectively no extra delay
whit the builds becoming available.
Ask whom? where? That's the problem! On the last release date bouncer
was not actual for about 12 ours (after the release note).
I believe, the problem was, that no one with bouncer access could
change
the database because they are not reachable.
That's why we don't use bouncer at the moment an why You'll find
a hint
"You will be downloading the US English1 version of
OpenOffice.org. You
might be interested in the German version."
on the head of:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index.html?focus=download
At the moment we try to solve this problems in order to use
bouncer for
the German builts too.
I currently see no problem with adding the German builds to the
bouncer.
All you need to do is create an issue for getting the builds that
are on
the mirror network to be added to the bouncer.
See above. I really want to use bouncer too, but not if we have to
involve other persons to update our download-links.
The worst case for every release are not working download links!
Then You will ever have some kind of specialist posting direct
links to
the servers (also on the great IT-portals) and comments like "look,
they
are not able to publish there own download links, do You want to trust
such a team or its product?"
I say it again, if there is a way to change the links for bouncer
without help, I'll be happy. And that's what we try to solve at the
moment.

is there any possibility to get this latest version in german or
is it not yet available?
It's available via the german website
<http://de.openoffice.org/downloads/quick.html?version=2.1.0>.
Simply select Mac OS X PPC.
You can have localised download pages too, other NLCs use the
bouncer too.
Yes, because they have not such a lot of qa'd stuff or an existing
download tool like de.
Regards
Marko
