Need a download
I think my Open Office has become corrupted -
I have used OpenOffice for years with great success..
and recommended it to others ..
I have a year old MacBook Pro - with OS Yosemite 10.10.3
When I went to download another copy of Open Office as I have done in the past,
I got a message that there was no download available for me ..
“Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 is not available for OS X 32-bit (x86) (DMG)
Solution: Select version 4.0.1 - “
Where do I find Version 4.0.1 download - could you send a link please.
I tried googling for it - found a page, followed a link that said I could download Version 4.0.1
and it still took me to the 4.1.1 page - so not sure what to do ??
Thanks so much

Well, to be fair, I have not experienced any malware from any
sourceforge downloads.
Been using them for many years.
But there are the ones I have not downloaded that might indeed
have malware.

The issue wasn't with the adds on the website, but:
* The malware that SourceForge inflicted upon unsuspecting downloaders;
* Their grabbing of projects, and adding malware to the binary that they
passed off as the real McCoy;
SourceForge is going to have to do a lot more than their public apology
for its malfeasance, to get off those blacklists.
>They need cache, not only to pay for basic infrastructure,
Distributing malware is the best way to ensure that the only revenue is
from sources that are not legal.

Well, you must know:
Money talks and Bullsh*t walks! :) :)
Why do you think web sites post all those ads on their pages?
They need cache, not only to pay for basic infrastructure,
but for salaries, benefits and bonuses, ...etc .... etc.

Do note that some anti-malware programs have added SourceForge.net to
the list of blocked domains. And to get off those lists, SourceForge is
going to have to do a lot more than publicly apologize for its nefarious
behaviour. (Somewhat surprising, one of the anti-malware lists added
SourceForge.net after it had apologized for its practices.)

Go to this page:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/
(http://www.openoffice.org/download/)
Then below the bold ad for OO4.1.1 release, where a green background
shows 3 drop down menus, in the third menu choose 4.0.1, then in the
first menu click on the down arrow and select OS X 32-bit (x86) (DMG),
in the second menu should be your language default for the download.
Once downloaded you can install that version.
Once you have dealt with your old files you should save them in a more
modern format and then update your Open Office version using the same
link but this time choosing OS X 64-bit (x86-64) (DMG) [the x86 part
refers to 32-bit, in other words this version works in both both 32-bit
and 64-bit systems.
