Let me correct something I said before.

I must correct what I said about downloading and clicking on the file and it timing out.

I downloaded the file from the OO website
I clicked on the dmg file
It opened in a window and there was an install file.
I moved the file to the desktop
I clicked on the file
I then get the response:  command timed out
Then I click OK, and it quits.

Well, that is the whole sequence.

Ideas...

I have the same setup except I have DSL.

Is it possible that something is wrong with the file which was downloaded.

Did anyone run the md5 test after the file was downloaded but before the file was invoked to startup?
The md5 value for OO is posted on the OO website.

The way to run the md5 test from within OS X is to open Terminal and do:

$ md5 filename

Where filename is the OO file which was downloaded. I recommend that the md5 test embedded within Apple's disk utility not be used as it is proprietary and not standard with the accepted md5 algorithm. In brief, if you use Apple's md5, you'll never see a match with any other md5 value which wasn't generated by Apple or Apple based routines.

If that is ok, then trying checking one's wires, cables and connections. If one was using dial-up, there could be lot's of glitches there. Also just because one may choose a higher bandwidth for file transfer doesn't mean downloads will be perfect.

Jean-Cristophe,

If you read the guys message, he gives you ALL the details.

Like i also said in my message, after downloading the file from the website, I click on the file to download it.

After waiting about 30-40 seconds, I get the message that the other guy wrote:

command timed out

Thats it.  We do not get anywhere near actually installing anything.
