Stuart,
Thanks for the help. I do use gpg when available. I will get the LO public key and use it from now on.
Thanks again.

The MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 hashes are recorded in the 'Details' links for each
file.

For most folks, using the hash and skipping the GPG verification is
sufficient.

But,  if you are super cautious,  you'll need to use a GnuPG client to
extract and verify the .ASC PGP signature of the download.

Note: on Windows that would probably be  Gpg4win
<http://gpg4win.org/download.html>  , it offers the Kleopatra GUI to
simplify the steps.

For any OS,  you'll need the LibreOffice project public key, named....
0xf434a1efafeeaea3

Done from CLI with

      gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys AFEEAEA3

and then running the  GPG verify against the .ASC signature for the
download.  Both the installer package and the signature file need to be in
the same directory.

      gpg --verify LibreOffice_4.1.5.3_Win_x86.msi.asc

In doing so, you both verify the signature of the download (that it came
from TDF build process)  and  coincidentally verify the integrity
--completeness-- of the download.

And for completeness, the Apache OpenOffice folks sign with public key
