Well, we can certainly think about it now. Marcus is really the lead in
this. Maybe it would be as simple as changing the description of the
alternate link from:

*Get all platforms, languages, language packs*

to

*Problems downloading? Get all platforms, languages, language packs.*


and offer

http://www.apache.org/dist<http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/es/3.4.1/>

as another alternative...somewhere

It's good that you sent this. I for one had forgotten that we need to
change this link off "incubator" for 4.0. It needs to be added to our 4.0
tasks.
