No, you've obviously have never used linux. This has nothing to do with a
stable or unstable internet connection. It has everything to do with tar gz
and deb files which are a pain in the #$%#$. It has everything to do with that
fact that Apache Open Office is user unfriendly for linux users.
as Fedora is working with the other package manager (RPM) I don't know
the problems with DEB files. But that the Linux distributors prefer LO
*and* don't leave a way for alternative software is indeed a problem.
Then you have (possibly) to deinstall LO and delete remaining files
first before getting AOO problem-free onto disk.
Sorry that this is not going as smoothly as it could be.

CDs/DVDs are not available from Apache. But I also don't know what the
problem should be to download it - except that fast/stable Internet
access is not available everywhere on the world.
Furthermore please make sure do use always the original sources for
downloading software. For Apache OpenOffice it is this [1].
A simple solution would be to download the needed installation files by
someone, burn it on the CD and give it to them they need it.
