Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 97454
Am I forced to use automatic update?

It appears that you have a new version out. At least, that is what OpenOffice is telling me when I start it up these days. But I pulled up your web site and clicked on the "I want to download OpenOffice.org" link, the page I went to had three main items: 1) A message stating "An email has been sent to meldata666@gmail.com to allow you to set up your password", which isn't going to help a bit since that is not an email address used by me. 2) A button if I want to get /Extensions/. 3) A button if I want to get /Release Candidates and Snapshot Builds/. 4) A link to a burnable image file. The option of actually downloading OpenOffice appears to be missing. I am not interested in using the automatic update for two reasons: 1) it only works when Open Office is in use; once I close the file, the download stops and does /not/ resume where it stopped at the next time a file is opened. 2) it attempts to "update" my JRE, usually to a version prior to the one I am currently using. If /both/ problems have been fixed, please tell me the version number of the version of OpenOffice that first had an updater that actually worked.
The mailmessage described in 1) is now a duplicate. Please file one issue per problem. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 100200 ***
