The only site from which we recommend one download is www.openoffice.org/download which will redirect to SourceForge servers where the files are stored. The selected download will then start in about five seconds, with no further intervention necessary on your part. Typically the download is about 145MB. This can then be installed without any need for further internet access. Some sites package unwanted add-ons, which may be quite objectionable; these sites often use a small downloader, which in turn may then access the internet to get the contaminated version of OpenOffice. From your description it is likely that you have used such a site. I suggest you delete that download and try the above site for a fresh download. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
