Yup just got it again - here are the steps. Go to http://www.openoffice.org Click on the item 'I want to download now' This expands the entry and identifies my OS a Linux/DEB..great. Click on 'Download now'. This then displays the page at: http://www.openoffice.org/download/contribute.html?download=bouncer&product%3DOpenOffice.org%26os%3Dlinuxinteldeb%26lang%3Den-US%26version%3D3.3.0 A few seconds later it changes to the page in the screen shot. http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/notfound-bouncer.html Just tried again, same result. //drew > > -Rob > > > //drew > > > > > > On Fri, 2012-04-06 at 12:59 -0400, Rob Weir wrote: > >> On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 10:34 AM, Rob Weir <[email protected]> wrote: > >> > Please note: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119194 > >> > > >> > I'm about to apply this patch.
