The "update" feature in OOo is badly broken.  I disable it in Tools>
Options>  OpenOfffice.org>  Online Update.  It seems to be a hangover from
the commercial version that did have updates to it.
There's a commercial version of OOo???
Yes, or better there was.
It was called StarOffice while it was still Sun, Oracle later renamed it to 
Oracle Open Office. But since the time Oracle donated OOo to Apache, the 
commercial version was cancelled and doesn't exist any longer.

A closely related "commercial version" is IBM's Lotus Symphony. They share a lot of DNA. I had a great deal of trouble downloading it, and I can't tell you how I finally did it, but it's worth it. It's a nice professional-looking program,
and it's free.
