Err ...
That's <http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#extmirrors>

Please, select the "Directories" for your "Location" with the mark "E",
and select the folder "extended/" - afterwards (e.g.) "3.1.1rc2/"  ...

You'll get the same site from the OOo download site ...

See above (/extended directory) ...
 /localized directories contain the "stable" versions -
e.g., language packs which are additionally tested and approved by
Quality Assurance

See above (/extended directory) ...
e.g. <http://openoffice.mirrors.tds.net/pub/openoffice/extended/3.1.1rc2/>

But I agree to that:
Detecting the language packs should be more user-friendly
