OpenOffice.org on the OCN

be nice to your mirrors ...

Download OpenOffice.org
via Open Content Network

Now featuring 1.0.3.1 and the latest 1.1 Release!

PLEASE NOTE: Downloading these OpenOffice.org install files via OCN will require javascript turned on in your browser, you must allow pop-up windows and you will also need Java 1.4.1 (which includes JavaWebstart).

If you don't get it, you just don't get it.

To get your software the old-fashioned way (http/ftp)
visit the OpenOffice.org Download Mirrors page.

So what is this? It's a peer-to-peer file-trading network where we all share the load of downloading popular files. Basically, you get some, I get some, you give me some, I give you some, and when everyone is doing this all together, we can all get these files without killing some server.
Does it work? You bet it does. Prepare to make your ISP very angry with you ;)

Choose the install file for your O/S -- click the link for your platform then sit back and watch the Tornado WebRaid plug-in auto-install (first time only) and then boot up your OCN download ...

OpenOffice.org 1.0.3.1 previous release	OpenOffice.org 1.1 current release

Not sure if OpenOffice is for you? Want some convincing? check the blog world beat!

IMPORTANT: After downloading, your browser will continue to provide portions of the files to other downloaders; this is how we share the bandwidth load of the distribution!

If this really bugs you, just exit your browser or hunt down the process number for the JavaWS task and kill it.

Your download will bias to the mirrors topologically closest to you, and each of these mirrors will register a hit, but will serve up only its relative fraction of the bits.

If you're curious about where you're pulling content and who you're serving and how much, there's a status report on your local client status page.
