This seems to happen whenever a new version comes out in some languages before others. For me, the "Download" button tries to download the UK English (en-GB) version 3.3.0, which doesn't appear to exist yet (and leads to a "File not found" page). Click "Get all platforms and languages, non-JRE versions, language packs" just below that, and you can choose the 3.2.1 en-GB version, or 3.3.0 en-US (American English) version, or whatever language and version is relevant for you.
OpenOffice.org (available from http://www.openoffice.org/ is still open source, but is now mainly sponsored by Oracle rather than Sun. LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.org created by The Document Foundation. It's probably quite similar at the moment (haven't tried it myself), as it was only recently forked from the OpenOffice.org code, but may develop differently over time.
