This sounds strange but for sure it is worth investigating (CCing 
Roberto from SourceForge).

Do you have any more elements? For example, do you have the exact filename?

Note that some anti-virus programs flagged the OpenOffice installation 
executable as a possible trojan, but this should now have been fixed on 
their side. So it might even be possible that your anti-virus updated 
its signatures between the two downloads and that the new data fix the 
"false positive" error.

Regards,
   Andrea.
