I just had problems downloading the latest version of LiberOffice to a Windows
7 machine and donating to The Document Foundation.
DOWNLOAD PROBLEMS: I was unable to get a download to work using Internet
Explorer 11.0. I went to libreoffice.org and clicked on “Download Now”, then
“Download version 4.3.5”. Nothing happened. I somehow found links to allow me
to download “LibreOffice_4.3.5_Win_x86.msi.meta4”. However, my installation of
Windows 7 did not know what to do with meta4. I also found other mirrors, but
I couldn’t get them to work, either. I was able to install SeaMonkey and
download LO with that and install that version. I’m running BitDefender
antivirus, but I would have thought that if that were the problem, it might
have blocked me on SeaMonkey as well. ???
PROBLEMS DONATING: I tried to “Donate via Credit Card”. This seemed to do 2
things:
1. It referred me to ConCardis, which said, “Sorry, no payment
method is active. 1” I could not get past that.
2. Concurrently, I got a separate window, which I assume came from
LO, for “AdStorm”.
*** Bottom line: I got ads I did not want (and wasted my time) AND I
was not able to donate with the time and energy I had for that. (I’ve donated
many times before without these problems.
Anyway, LO is a great product. I use it routinely. I update often,
and I usually donate when I update. On this occasion, I was blocked for
reasons I do not understand.
NOTE: I do NOT personally need a solution to this problem. I’m reporting it
in case others might have similar difficulties.
