I suspect that was probably the Oregon osuosl.org mirror if it was
prompting for skunkworks. That's an OOo extension site:
http://oooaddins.osuosl.org

Could be that their mirrors were redirecting from:
ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/openoffice/
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/openoffice/

I just checked and they seem to be working fine now.

In the future we (tinw:-) should ask if the downloader managed to get
the information from the server (like skunkworks) that was asking for
the password. I've noticed that several posts say that the downloader
actually entered their userid & password when prompted... that's a phish
waiting to happen. So the sooner that a malfunctioning mirror can be
identified the better.
