I cannot seem to download a good RPM for RHEL 6. I've used Firefox and 'wget' and get a different MD5 sum, neither of which match the official one. I am guessing the problem lies with the invalid time-stamp from 'wget'. This is the MD5 sum I get each time:

This may not directly be an openoffice problem but I am hoping someone else has encountered this and can suggest a solution. TIA.

Works ok for me:

Thanks for the reply but that does not help me much. There must be some difference between your RHEL 6 and mine. The problem will be figuring out what that is. I'm running 2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64 and GNU Wget 1.12 built on linux-gnu.

It shows that it's not a problem with the file or the servers. Your downloaded file has the right size but you get a different md5, so something in the file is different. It could be the timestamp error you mentioned but I doubt it: I understand that as the file system time stamp, which is not included in calculating the hash.

I don't have an idea what the problem might be. You could repeat the download and see if you get the same result, or try calculating md5sums for some other files to make sure that your system is calculating the correct sum.

I've repeated the download many many times to no avail. There must be some difference between your version of RHEL6 and mine. However, I was able to download the file to a Windows machine then copy that to my Linux box. That worked but does not explain the apparently incompatibility with the Linux downloads.

wget 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/openoff ... -US.tar.gz/download'

OP: What does the trailing "/download" intended for? acknak's wget doesn't have that.
