Rob, I have a US ip address so on my download page the 3.2.1 green download button states: ==== Download OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 Click to start downloading the most recent version for Linux (US English) (Java Runtime Environment (JRE) included for all OS versions except Linux 32/64-bit Debian and Mac OS) Get more platforms and languages, non-JRE versions, language packs | Release Notes | MD5 checksums | Order CD-ROM or Peer-to-peer downloads ==== Of course when I access with a Windows system (or spoof my UI to make the system think it's Windows), the button offers up the Windows version: ==== Download OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 Click to start downloading the most recent version for Windows (US English) (Java Runtime Environment (JRE) included for all OS versions except Linux 32/64-bit Debian and Mac OS) ==== What I'm trying to find out is if your green download button has the (US English) or does it actually show (UK English)? I've never been a fan of "smart" downloaders; those that browser sniff & IP sniff to try to determine which page to offer up. But, the most recent OOo downloader is (IMO) better than the old bouncer system, but that's another thread :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
