It might be helpful if the download page showed the approximate file
size downloads.

This would help users to know how long it might take (and do they have
the space!) as well as offering an obvious sign if a download is
truncated by more than a few kB. Not perfect, but would have helped
the recent downloader.



Right, this would be much more helpful than having nothing.

I'll think about how to implement this into the current DL scripting.



I've created some new scripting and the result can be seen here:

That's good to have the size in the main download box.
However, given that the size is approximate, I'm not sure it's
necessary to provide it to two decimal places.
Either give the exact size, or round to the nearest MB.

The page shows me:

Windows (EXE) and English (British) (~129.89 MByte).

Once downloaded, the Windows XP property page shows:
129 MB (136,201,626 bytes)

So I think the download box should also show 129MB


OK, I've eliminated the decimal places.


  Unhelpfully, the SF downloads page [1] shows 136.2MB - looks as though
they divided by 1000 rather than 1024 - though it's unlikely anyone
would/could use that page as the file names are all truncated.  I
don't know if it's possible to change the column sze for the name
column. Would be good if that could be corrected along with the size.


Please have a look into this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/**show_bug.cgi?id=122233<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122233>


I have been commenting over there, please let me know if it works for you.

Yes, thanks.

The problem with the file size should be a little thing.

The one with the truncated filenames seems more severe. To show the complete file name via mouse over text is a good step forward. Let's see what the issue reporter will say.

Also, the KEYS/sigs/hashes ought to be shown before the alternate
downloads, ideally within the main green box as they relate to the
main download


I've tried to realize that. But I think it's not possible as there is only
one link possible as the whole pper green box has to be clickable: for the
install file or for one of the signature/hash files.

The most important part is the install file. Everything else is secondary.


  The other downloads ought to be shown in a bit more detail in a separate
box


What do you mean with more details? What do you think is missing?

Thanks


Marcus
