[Solved] Problems downloading OpenOffice.org?

Post by kwilla »

Hi, I'm trying to download openoffice but I have no idea what to do with the download page.

If I navigate to http://download.services.openoffice.org ... _en-US.exe I'm automatically redirected to http://planetmirror.com/pub/openoffice/, but all I can see is a directory listing subfolders called contrib, developer, du.list, localized, packages and stable.

I can't find anything to download! No exe file or anything!!!

Can someone PLEASE help, I'm losing my mind!!!

Better lie down until the strain wears off! An ice pack on your head might also help.

Then follow the PlanetMirror link and choose /stable/3.3.0 and select the version you require.

Working OK for me just now. Exit your browser and start again, or clear browser cache.

I've finally found the exe I need (NFI why openoffice.org doesn't just link straight to it instead of incomprehensible directories for noobs like me) but I'm still getting a 404 error. I'm trying this link: http://download1.planetmirror.com/pub/o ... _en-US.exe

Can you pls confirm if that's working for you?
