I use McAfee. I tried it with firewall turned off, I got further, but it still hung up. I was still connected to internet. I tried to reload openoffice 2 and it also would not save to Desktop. In a message dated 8/23/2009 3:24:13 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:

Is there  any information in your firewall's log?
When the download stops and your system churns, are you *sure* you still have an internet connection? Is your browser stopping you downloading from what it thinks is an untrusted site?
Is Vista's UAC preventing you from downloading the file?
Is the  problem repeatable? Always  16%?


What speed is your internet connection? Does your ISP limit the amount of data you can download? Are you hitting such a limit?

You can buy OpenOffice on CD/DVD for not much more than the supplier's cost of production plus P&P. There's a list of suppliers at http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html#cdrom although we don't make any recommendations or give any guarantees. Any arrangement between you and one of the listed suppliers is exactly that - between you and the supplier. Many of the suppliers on that list provide the software on CD as a service to those who, for whatever reason, can't download it themselves.

OpenOffice is also distributed free on many of the CDs/DVDs that come with computer magazines. Just ensure the magazine is relevant to your Operating System (Vista, I think you said).
