Of the five domestic (USA) sources listed at he link :
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/1.0.3/index.html, from which
OpenOffice version and build 1.0.3 are supposed to be downloadable, the
only one I could open is at the University of Indiana. 

I made several unsuccessful attempts to save a download from there to my
HDD, one of which failed at the very end of a download lasting over three
hours, evidently because the information could not be saved at the
location specified. Why this location was unusable for the download, out
of all the other downloads that I've saved over the years to similar
locations, I can't say, and presumably neither can the originator of the
failure message. 

Since I have no reason to expect that another three hour download won't
end up in the same way, I am giving up trying to download OpenOffice from
this webpage link until I get advice that gives a lot more reassurance
that the next download will work out well, like the vast majority of
somewhere close to 100 other downloads that I've successfully completed
from various sources. 

If there are sources outside the US from which I can download English
language versions of 1.0.3 at the same or faster transmission rates than
the IU download came in at (4 to 5 KBps), does someone know of such a
site that has a better reputation for reliability than I found the IU
site to have, the hard way?

**Best of all would be for me to avoid possible temperamental download
sources by my making a nominal payment of $10 or less, to receive a CDROM
of the application by US mail from a domestic source.** Does anyone there
know where I can do this?

Brad, also in USA, like IU
