The problem is can not be with LibreOffice in general - if it was, this list would be aflame with complaints.
I have been downloading MSI's since the very first Libreoffice release, and have never had a problem. Maybe you are being directed to a mirror that has bad MSI files? Another likely culprit is either an Antivirus program or a firewall or other security filtering device interfering with the download. But the fact is, if the MSI's hosted on the download mirrors were bad, I wouldn't be installing 5.2.2 on our workstations here right now. I repeat, I have NEVER had a bad MSI, and the same goes for most of the people here.
