Too slow download link from Costa Rica repository

I reside in Nicaragua.

When I want to download Libre Office I am redirected to a repository in the University of Costa Rica (mirrors.ucr.ac.cr). The download speed is 9.71 kb/s and the lowest reported download time I have attained is 4h 29 min.

How can I access another download location?

Thanks in advance,

Denis J Navas

I found a solution by miself. Opened the source code viewer and looked at the download address, changing the %2F to '/' and the download proceeded at 126 kb/s.

Thanks

Which version?

Which version of LibreOffice are you trying to get? Try a different mirror:

For 3.3.3: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/portable/3.3.3/LibreO...

For 3.4.1: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/portable/3.4.1/LibreO...

Note that 3.3.3 is 143MB in size, and 3.4.1 is 145MB in size, so the download WILL take a while.

[EDIT: missed .mirrorlist on 3.3.3 link]

I got the version 3.41

I already got the version I wanted, inspecting the download link and writing it on the address bar.

Many thanks for your valuable time.
