 Hi Dave.  I run the Libreoffice-na.us site.  It is not an official
 download path, but a site for a DVD project with it accessible online as
 well as on a physical media.

 I found that the problems I had with downloading from LO's site due to a
 problem with the mirror system of downloading.
 When you download a file from there, you are actually downloading it from
 one of the many mirrors available.  I would be one, buy my hosting company
 will not allow that to happen.

 Sometimes there are problems with the chosen mirror.

 If you go to the info part of the green button to download the file,
 and click there, you will be given a list of mirrors to choose from instead
 of the downloading system to make that choice for you.

 So you may be either having an issue with the default mirror,
 OR
 your dial-up company could be limiting the size of file being
 downloaded.  I know that some do from experience.

 So, here are your option, as I see it.

 1)  try one of the mirrors and start the download before you go to bed.
  If it goes, you should have it by morning.

 2)  have your son download the install files [install and help] and have
 him send it to you on a CD.

 3)  have you son download my DVD and send it to you.
 [version 5 of the 3.5.4 DVD .iso file will be available in a few days
 - version 1 is online but not as good]

 4)  I might be able to send you a copy of my DVD via post, but I do not
 know how much the post office charges anymore.

 If you want to talk to me  off the list, you can do so by either my

 I help dial-up people locally from time to time.  I am in central New York
 State along the Pennsylvania border.  I still have a laptop or two that has
 a dial-up modem, but most modern ones do not, it seems.  I do not have them
 set up for dial-up anymore, but I have a friend that uses a free dial-up
 service that limits to 10 hours of work per month.  I understand that their
 paid service also has a limiting factor on how large of a file you can
 download.  It is not stated anywhere I have seen, but he has seen it happen
 with others with that service.  If he needs to download large, either I do
 it or he comes to my place to access my home/office network's Internet
 access.  I also share that access via a private wireless system with
 several people in my apartment building.  This secured network is part of
 my own network with a separate router for their use and will not access my
 part of the network due to the IP addresses from one network are different
 from the other and you cannot access one part from the other.

 So, hopefully it would be the mirror that is chosen for you. Otherwise you
 will need to have someone send you the install files on a CD or a DVD if
 you want more than just the basic installs.

 Check out this link to see what my DVD has beyond the basic installs.  You
 can find these files other places, but I gathered them into one place.
  Also I have the largest American English spell checking dictionary for LO,
 or as far as I know and have been told.  There are in the dictionary
 section of the DVD's web site  with kpp in the titles.

 Errr, that was your 1st post to the list!  I can guess at your original
 question which appears to have been lost in the ether.

 There are a lot of possible different reasons why downloading doesn't
 work.  The easiest work-around might be to get yoru son to download
 LibreOffice onto his machine and then make a Cd to post to you as a normal
 small parcel.  Even better would be if he would download the North American
 Dvd for you

 Tim of Kracked Press at the NA project might be able to post a dvd to you
 but i am not sure how much he would charge.  Hopefully he would at least
 recoup costs from whatever he charged you!

 As for your own downloading problems.  Which Operating System are you
 using?  Is it an MS Windows one, maybe Xp?  Perhaps not Windows at all,
 maybe Ubuntu?  Mac?  Something else?

 Do you know your hard-drive's size?  More to the point how much empty
 space is left on the drive at the moment?  It might just be that you need

I wanted to have the #5 updated version online for 3.5.4, and hope to

I was just waiting for the file to migrate to all the mirrors and then 
they would have the file shown on the download page.  It can take a day 
or four, depending on how long the mirrors take to sync up.


So I uploaded it, waited for it to be placed in the mirrored folder[s], 
and waited for the system to show it.  My only part is the uploading.  
Everything else is depending on others and their systems.


The week or few was the fact that I had it ready but between bandwidth 
commitments and being sick, I could not upload it for about a week after 
I created it.  It does take over 9 hours to upload these DVDs, with my 
limit of 120 +/- KB/s uploading.  My download speeds can be over 10 
MB/s.  I am paying for 1 MB/s uploading, but the building would need to 
replace all of the cables that were poured in concrete walls in 1975-76 
in order to get that, or so I suspect.  Even the telephone lines would 
have problems with dealing with half the DSL speeds that I would be 
paying for if I went that route.  So, it takes a day or night to do the 
uploading and committing all my bandwidth to that cause, since even 
browsing need some uploading of returned data for the packet queries.

No, on 25th June (ie yday) you (Tim) said

        [version 5 of the 3.5.4 DVD .iso file will be available in a few 
days

One day later you tell us it's ready!  Fantastic!  Sure, we expect a delay 
between the official LO release date and it appearing in repos and on tailored 
Dvds because we know a lot of work goes into preparing these sorts of things.

My repos for Ubuntu 10.04 are still giving me 3.4.6 (which i am still very 
happy with).  Your Dvds are  ahead of one of the largest community-based 
projects that have tons of people working on these sorts of things 
(hopefully).  Just accept the compliment!  You've earned it :)

 Version 5 of the 3.5.4 NA-DVD is online at

 http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=boxversion=3.5.4

 It just appeared today on that page, along with my version 1 ISO file.

 It is 4 GB in size, where version 1 was a little larger at 4.1 GB.

 With the updates and the edits, I was able to cut it down just a bit.

 Any day now it will show up here, hopefully, instead of version #1.  All of 
 the updates for version 5 are online at the online version of the DVD.  
 Mostly it has updated extras like; documentation, updated foreign language 
 spell checkers, etc..

 I wanted to have the #5 updated version online for 3.5.4, and hope to have 
 some more updates when I upload a 3.5.5 version of the DVD.  It may be near 
 the end of July before I get 3.5.5 DVD created, since I have been sick and 
 there are a lot of things that need to be done that are needed A.S.A.P. or 
 before mid July.

 Hi Dave.  I run the Libreoffice-na.us site.  It is not an official
 download path, but a site for a DVD project with it accessible online as
 well as on a physical media.

 I found that the problems I had with downloading from LO's site due to a
 problem with the mirror system of downloading.
 When you download a file from there, you are actually downloading it from
 one of the many mirrors available.  I would be one, buy my hosting company
 will not allow that to happen.

 Sometimes there are problems with the chosen mirror.

 If you go to the info part of the green button to download the file,
 and click there, you will be given a list of mirrors to choose from instead
 of the downloading system to make that choice for you.

 So you may be either having an issue with the default mirror,
 OR
 your dial-up company could be limiting the size of file being
 downloaded.  I know that some do from experience.

 So, here are your option, as I see it.

 1)  try one of the mirrors and start the download before you go to bed.
     If it goes, you should have it by morning.

 2)  have your son

Yesterday, I was told that the upload will be going to the mirrors, but 
not given any idea about how long it would take. I stated a few days 
since it took that long with my last upload.


For me, I need to wait a few days after the 3.5.5 comes out, before I go 
after the 99 items and 2.1 gig of files for it, if you also get a 
3.5.5 portable version[s] as well.  So I do not go after it the first 
few days when the mirrors might be more busy.  But it will then take a 
bit to edit the DVD[s] to go to 3.5.5 from 3.5.4, but less time than it 
would be to go from 3.4.6.


I run Ubuntu 10.04/GNOME and 12.04 [with MATE], along with a few windows 
system.  I wish 10.04 would go to the newer LO line as 12.04 does.  It 
would be easier to do the updating then.


The real thing about my DVD is that you can take it and then redue it to 
be more towards your needs.  The real part of the plan was to have a 
single disc that includes almost everything that a new user might need 
with his/her install of LO, including every dictionary, thesaurus, etc. 
extension in every language version found.  Then there are the templates 
and gallery extensions.  Then all of the documentation files - now with 
3.3, 3.4, and/or 3.5 version when available.  Then there was the extras 
like Firefox and Thunderbird, plus a few other packages that might be 
useful to the users.  So, you get 2.1 GB is all the install files, 
including help/language files in 8 languages.  Then the rest of the 
[now] 4.0 GB DVD [except the internal needs of the DVD web pages] is all 
the other extras, 1.8 GB worth of files [over 600 of them].


At least I do not need to update all of that for every update of LO.  
But, as more 3.4 and 3.5 docs are available, I can remove the 3.3 
versions to save space.  As I find that the non-English dictionaries 
have updates, I will work on updating them.  I believe I did French 
[4?], German [4?], Spanish [20], plus a few more dictionary updating.  
Then I found a few updates to the extensions I had listed.  Thunderbird 
and Firefox got updated.  Though I do not own a Mac, I try to see if 
there are any Mac versions/updates of the extra packages I list in 
that page.  I cannot run those version, like I do with Windows and 
Ubuntu version, but I will list it anyway for our MacOSX PPC and 
Intel/x86 users.


I do a little at a time.

Just ask Tom about the redesign of my Install and Documentation pages 
in this version 5 of the DVD.  I may have a completely new theme of 
the pages by the time I release my first 3.6 line DVD, which may not be 
till 3.6.3 or 3.6.4. But, if I do it slowly and one page at a time, it 
is easier. There are still pages that have not changed since the 3.3.x 
DVD versions.  There was not real need, but may in a few months.

One day later you tell us it's ready!  Fantastic!  Sure, we expect a delay 
between the official LO release date and it appearing in repos and on tailored 
Dvds because we know a lot of work goes into preparing these sorts of things.

My repos for Ubuntu 10.04 are still giving me 3.4.6 (which i am still very 
happy with).  Your Dvds are  ahead of one of the largest community-based 
projects that have tons of people working on these sorts of things (hopefully). 
 Just accept the compliment!  You've earned it :)

I was just waiting for the file to migrate to all the mirrors and then
they would have the file shown on the download page.  It can take a day
or four, depending on how long the mirrors take to sync up.

So I uploaded it, waited for it to be placed in the mirrored folder[s],
and waited for the system to show it.  My only part is the uploading.
Everything else is depending on others and their systems.

The week or few was the fact that I had it ready but between bandwidth
commitments and being sick, I could not upload it for about a week after
I created it.  It does take over 9 hours to upload these DVDs, with my
limit of 120 +/- KB/s uploading.  My download speeds can be over 10
MB/s.  I am paying for 1 MB/s uploading, but the building would need to
replace all of the cables that were poured in concrete walls in 1975-76
in order to get that, or so I suspect.  Even the telephone lines would
have problems with dealing with half the DSL speeds that I would be
paying for if I went that route.  So, it takes a day or night to do the
uploading and committing all my bandwidth to that cause, since even
browsing need some uploading of returned data for the packet queries.

that has a dial-up modem, but most modern ones do not, it seems.  I do 
not have them set up for dial-up anymore, but I have a friend that uses 
a free dial-up service that limits to 10 hours of work per month.  I 
understand that their paid service also has a limiting factor on how 
large of a file you can download.  It is not stated anywhere I have 
seen, but he has seen it happen with others with that service.  If he 
needs to download large, either I do it or he comes to my place to 
access my home/office network's Internet access.  I also share that 
access via a private wireless system with several people in my apartment 
building.  This secured network is part of my own network with a 
separate router for their use and will not access my part of the network 
due to the IP addresses from one network are different from the other 
and you cannot access one part from the other.


So, hopefully it would be the mirror that is chosen for you. Otherwise 
you will need to have someone send you the install files on a CD or a 
DVD if you want more than just the basic installs.

Do you know your hard-drive's size?  More to the point how much empty space is
