[Solved] Unable to download OpenOffice with Safari «Q65»

I have been a Open Office user for several years. I decided to add it to my MacBook using Safari. However, when I click on the "Download" I get the countdown and nothing happens. I don't know what's blocking this download. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

No idea. It is not something related to the suite itself.
Can you try with another web browser? Try another mirror server?

I did try mirror sites. I’ll try another browser and report.
Thank you.

If that happened few days ago, SourceForge, where the files are stored, was partially offline, perhaps doing a system rebuild. SourceForge should be OK now - it recovered in a short time.

Ok, I loaded Mozilla and it downloaded immediately. Something in Safari or in my settings is preventing this d/l. Also, I did try this a month or so ago and had the same issue.
If anyone has an idea of why I could not download, please pass it along. Thanks for the help, it's appreciated.

Q65: How can I tell Safari to allow download of AOO from SourceForge?
Or, since you have a Safari problem, review Apple's documentation for Safari. You could also ask at an Apple forum where you might find Safari experts. This is an OpenOffice forum.
