The short-term solution may be to have the mirrors include the 'Details' link in the same manner that the primary server does. That, and of course having a proper LibO download page with clear links to the mirrors/install/md5sum et al. The current 'LibreOffice' http://www.documentfoundation.org/download/ "You can also download using BitTorrent, or browse all the Beta2 installation packages to get inofficial Debian packages (32-bit .debs or 64-bit .debs), or language packs." is a little non-intuative. But I reckon that's a thread for the webpage list. Anyway, thanks very much for the info. :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to [email protected] All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
