Subject: Re: How to handle the downloads?
Thanks for you note. Then we should implement adownload method withthe
fllowing order:
1. User clicks on the One-Click-Download URL and get the software (like
today on "download.openoffice.org").
2. If not, he can use alternative download links (like today on
"download.openoffice.org/pther.html").
3. If a special mirror has to be used, the list of all available mirrors
will help
(like today on "http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors";).
Latest with step 3 all users should be able to download something.
Yep, all possible here at the ASF right now.
See www.apache.org/mirrors for our equiv of step 3.
I've already understood that you don't want the OOo mirrors but that we
should use the Apache ones. ;-)

A consideration...I for one have a need to be able to select my
mirror. My office's firewall blocks certain domains and websites,
especially those recognized as "hosting" or "file-sharing" sites. It
does not, however, block .edu sites, so when I download an Apache
product I select a university mirror.
Other users may have similar constraints. If OOo's download process
is going to tie into Apache mirroring, please don't completely
eliminate the capacity to select the mirror.
