Took over 1 hour when I downloaded it last week, but
the system was slow since everyone was getting 2.4 then.
10 minutes for that size of file is great, and I would bet you could
not get is downloaded from any place else for less time.
Hello, Everyone :)
I just downloaded all 159.9MB of
OOo_DEV300_m5_LinuxX86_install_en-US_rpm.tar.gz in about 3 minutes and
33 seconds:

I have caught the ftp site that I use at even speedier times. The
download fluctuated from about 400K/s to about 1.2M/s.
I do remember days gone by when it would take all night for me to
download OpenOffice.org on dialup.

When I downloaded the Windows version the other day, I think
everyone was doing the same. I use Broadband (5 meg or more),
so I will get the best speeds if the site is not being hit too hard.
I was not agreeing with the "lousy" complaint, but just stating that
there could be come other trouble in the speeds of the download.
I may not have said it clearly.
I remember the dialup days - 14.4 modems back then and 1.2 meg files.
I rejoiced when I got the new 56k versions. Now I will be hard put to
go back to dialup for all of the large files I download each month - and no
not youtube or other videos.
I still have to use Windows, since I must support people who use
programs that have not/will not be ported to Linux. Even in "retirement"
due to a stroke, I can never retire to these people. They need
help and count on me. When I do get my next laptop (Vista - %$^^%%),
I will convert my old one to Linux and be happy.
I am an avid supporter of OpenOffice.org's software and the
Open Source movement. I cannot support a business practice
that used strong-arm policies against their own customers. That
is what Microsoft seems to be doing these days. Open Source is
a people/users firat movement. If the people do not like what
the software is doing, there is a way for it to be changed, even
if you are not a programmer. MS and other big companies are
known to feel that their product is perfect and it is the people
who are wrong.
MS would not be fighting so hard to make ODF and OOo look
as bad as possible and do everything they can to discredit anyone
and everyone who think that ODF and software like OOo is the
way to go in the industry. If we are so bad, why are they fighting so
hard? If we are so bad, why are they doing things in Europe with
the standard process that could/will get the in trouble with the
EU governments? As the news gets out about all that is being
done and people compare their proposial and the current ISO side
by side, who do you think will look bad? Not OOo and ODF.
Read the two articles below. The step by step memo from MS
is real interesting in both content and their wording.
