Some non-SourceForge sites which come top of Google searches use a
DownloadManager (or similar name) of about 34MB to download OpenOffice. Such
sites, in my limited experience of investigating complaints on the en-Forum,
always include unwanted add-ons, usually an intrusive and persistent toolbar
and who knows what other nasties. Unfortunately one cannot unquestioningly
accept the URLs reported by inexperienced computer users - they often report
that they used their desired URL, not the actual URL used.

That damned Download Manager crap is one of the reasons I avoid using
anything Windows. When I had to reinstall a Windows system not too long
ago, I went to
get Firefox, and sure enough, I got the Conduit virus, which is one
bitch to get rid of! I wonder why more people don't just come to Linux?
