Hi, [cc'd to people who might be able to fix this issue]
I did recently alert the website team about the problem, however they
don't appear to recognise the fact that on the Mac we don't distribute
the jre with the ooo download. There is also the fact that we don't
necessarily have the latest version available for download. The
bouncer should have a version=latest, which automatically gives you
the latest version.
The OS should be macosxintel or macosxppc not macwjre. Can someone
please fix this.
To test download links without downloading, append &debug=url to the
end of the bouncer url it will then tell you either nothing, to show
the download isn't available or if the download is available, it will
tell you what it would send the browser to download.

The download you have chosen is not available.
Please use the BACK button to return to the erroneous page or go to
Download Central <http://download.openoffice.org/>.
For the adventurous there is a form <http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/download-form.php

available.
Of course, that link to Download Central takes one back to the same
Download page one just left.
Not very welcoming! Hopefully it's at least working for Windows users.
