Can't get to download page

Made several attempts to download V2.1 but can't get to the download page. When I click on the link for the download, I get an IE error that the page cannot be displayed. Using IE7

When you get the error, what is the URL in the address bar? Does this link work?

http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=win&lang=en-US&version=2.1.0

I had this URL when I clicked the "Continue to Download" button
http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/contribute_bouncer.html?product=OpenOffice.org&os=win&lang=en-US&version=2.1.0

I cannot dowload also.

EDIT: Forgot to say that I tryed with Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0 and IE 6.
EDIT2: Now I also tryed with Konqueror 3.5.5 in Linux.

I have tried also, and can't get there. Tried both links listed above. End up with a "cannot find server" error page. Using IE 6.

The grey "continue to download" button redirects you to a random mirror using a new service they call "Bouncer." If it does not work, try the "continue to download" 5 times or so (in case one mirror is down). In between, maybe you want to clear your browser cache. Also, I'd suggest trying without any network proxies, firewalls, or security software.

When I click on "continue to download" on my system (Firefox 2), I see the hostname of the mirror in the status bar (at the bottom of the browser window). It seems to work fine.

There is a page without JavaScript:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index-nojs.html

Well, drat. I went to the download to get the url displayed when the error comes up and guess what...? The darned thing works just fine now. I've been trying for two days to download the latest version, and have tried several times in a row as suggested. Even turned off all my security and it still wouldn't work. Darned gremlins must have been having a fielday.

Thanks.
