Is everyone talking about the same site: 
<http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/>?

It is not clear that this site is hosted by Oracle.  There was a problem like 
this in July and the issue was with services running at OSUOSL, the Open Source 
Laboratory at Oregon State University.  Other parts of http://openoffice.org 
seem to be operating normally but there is some sluggishness. 

It looks like it would be prudent to capture the Extensions and Template 
content even if there is no new place to host it yet.

BACKGROUND

There has been talk about hosting this elsewhere (looks like a good idea).  I 
am not aware of any solution.  There is some concern about what to do with 
material under licenses that are considered inappropriate for some 
distributions, etc.   

Since the domain name is Oracle's (and is being transferred to Apache), it 
would be good for all of those projects that rely on that location to put their 
heads together and come up with a solution that satisfies their common 
interests.

A couple months ago I tried downloading an extension, and it was already
that way. It works, but only after some tries.

So, no, it's not you, it's Oracle. Who, ironically advertise they have
the best, scalable, stable servers...
