You're right, same for me, the link may be broken. In that case, come back and in the page, hit the select a mirror close to you link, it will bring you here: http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

I get the same dropout to Server not found when I try to register for Planet Mirror in Australia.?

And when you visit one of the mirrors (=computer which serves the same downloads as the openoffice.org site) then browse to sub-directory stable/2.3.1/
If you can wait just a few days you will be able to download the latest version 2.4

You are in Australia?
If your machine already has Java installed or if you don't need certain database features:
http://openoffice.mirrors.ilisys.com.au ... _en-US.exe
If your machine can not run Java programs and you want all office features:
http://openoffice.mirrors.ilisys.com.au ... _en-US.exe

I have found the downloads on the mirror site but after downloading a small part of the file it says 'done'. If I open it I'm told that it is incomplete or corrupted?

[Alland]

No I'm not in Australia I'm in New Zealand but the Australia mirror is the closest to me.

Sorry Allan,
I think it might be some issue with your Windows settings or download tool. I pulled the Australian OOo_2.3.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe half around the globe and proved its integrity with the md5sum utility(*). Probably I could install the downloaded package if I where running Windows.

Use a download manager, if your browser is Firefox, there are extensions for that.
