Ref bug ticket 127500 and 127501.
My submissions were rejected.
#1 I use a Download Manager that I have successfully downloaded hundreds of files from dozens of sites over the past 10 years (or so) and the only problem I have ever know to have is from Open Office Extensions: these dictionaries (why I do not know).
I can download these files multiple times and each time the final file size is different (an issue I have never had anywhere else).
I have download the Open Office installation files (different versions and different languages) without any issues whatsoever!
I did notice that a successfully installed extensions has an icon image to he left whereas these 3 dictionaries did not.
#2 All attempts to un-install these defective dictionaries through the Open Office User Interface has fail to work.
I ended up having to manually delete the OpenOffice folder under roaming.
I strongly suggest getting your dictionaries from a LibreOffice associated web site.
Just FYI, Tracey

Re: unable to un-install defective dictionaries
Your bug reports were closed because they can't be reproduced. Since your downloads are different in size, it's obvious that your downloads have been corrupted. You should try using a different download manager or just download using the browser. This is a very small download, so there's really nothing to be gained by using a download manager.
I downloaded the extension es_es.oxt a few times and all downloads were exactly the same size.
After installing the es_es.oxt extension, the checkmark appeared next to Spanish (Spain) in Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages > Default languages for documents > Languages indicating that spellcheck was enabled for Spanish (Spain). Testing in a new document with the language set to Spanish (Spain), English words were underlined by SpellCheck, but Spanish words were not.
I then selected Tools > Extension Manager > Spelling dictionary -- Spanish..., clicked "Remove" and the dictionary was uninstalled.
