The short-term solution may be to have the mirrors include the 'Details'
link in the same manner that the primary server does. That, and of
course having a proper LibO download page with clear links to the
mirrors/install/md5sum et al.

The current 'LibreOffice' http://www.documentfoundation.org/download/
"You can also download using BitTorrent, or browse all the Beta2
installation packages to get inofficial Debian packages (32-bit .debs or
64-bit .debs), or language packs." is a little non-intuative. But I
reckon that's a thread for the webpage list. Anyway, thanks very much
for the info. :-)
