I don't know from which site you are trying to download, but the _ONLY_ site we recommend is
www.openoffice.org/download
which will redirect to SourceForge servers where the files are stored. Your download will start automatically in about five seconds, with no need to click on anything else.
There is no incremental update - the file should be about 146MB.

Sorry, got it wrong.
The site did not start downloading when I opened the site, it did start
when I logged on.
Tried it again, without logging on and the programme is downloading.

No, you do not need to login at all.
If a login is being requested your internet connection may be being hijacked.

There are no login requirements for downloading Apache
OpenOffice from the official Website.
Make sure you are accessing the OFFICIAL download page for
Apache OpenOffice, at
<http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html>, and not some
other (similarly named) software.
Let us know how you go!

Thanks all very much.
Your answers omit to say you should log-in first before the DOWNLOAD may
start.

RE: Trying to update, I have 4.1.0 and I am trying to download 4.1.1
Posted by "Dennis E. Hamilton" <de...@acm.org>.
When you start at <http://openoffice.org> and get to the page,
<http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html>, make sure the settings
there are appropriate for your computer.
After you click "Download full
installation" DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING MORE. There are ads on the next
page that invite your downloading of other software, and they are
confusing. DON'T TOUCH THOSE.
What you want to read is in the fine print near the Apache OpenOffice
symbol and title. If you just wait, the download will start and you
will be asked what to do with it (depending on the browser and computer
you are using). If the download does not just start after a brief time,
follow the barely visible "Problems with the download? ..." message.
The embarrassing icky-ness of the advertising-based download buttons in
various guises is something that we seem unable to explain to the Source-
Forge folks. It is all quite smarmy and an ugly example of the mercantile
spirit that was once confined to matchbook covers and the back pages of
comic books.
