Hi

Me and lot of other people are experiencing problems finding localized builds 
and language packs, although they DO EXIST!

For example on the download page for 
 click "non-javascript download page" you get to
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0rc/index-nojs.html
where there are links to the mirrors.
Another list is
http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors
But lots of them are not updated.

 Note that some mirrors do not carry all builds (language/OS), so you might 
surf around to find what you want.

If you can handle torrents that might both be fast download and offloads OOo 
servers.  I found torrents for localized OOo2RC here:
http://borft.student.utwente.nl:6969/

It is amazing how quick Google indexes the world, and you can get what OOo file 
you want if you know the file name. For example 2.0RC1 swedish on MSWindows is 
called OOo_2.0.0rc1_050923_Win32Intel_install_sv.exe

Language packs can be used to add interface languages to the program.
Here i found them, but only for Linux. 
http://oootranslation.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/2.0.0rc1/
BUT Where are the ones for MSWin?

Using Torrents, the file is checked during download (IIRC)
Using other method, you may check integrity by MD5

About installing:

For Win32:
 Running the program, it will first ask you to select where to unpack the files 
(this is not the palce it will be installed to)
 If you want a chance to choose install directory you must choose custom install

To install localized spell-checker
In OOo 2.0 menu: File -> Wizards -> Dictionaries

For converting all OOo1.x documents to the new:
In OOo 2.0 menu: File -> Wizards -> Document converter...

(I am not quite sure about menu naming as i use swedish)

I use OO0 2 for production since about a half year!
