Downloads from archive do not work
Download start but go for 10 kb/sec for a month so far. With this speed it is barely possible to download anything.
I need to download older version to install on Vista 32-bit
Is there other option to download it from, or is it possible to fix archive server?
Suppose you are talking of Index of /libreoffice/old (the “old” doesn’t mean anything here).
From there I just downloaded the newest ReleaseCandidate 6.1.1.1RC for Win64 (> 260MiB) within about 35 s.
Well - frankly speaking, testing with the latest release might not be the correct test (it usually has numerous mirrors, while older usually don’t - see e.g. Mirror List vs Mirror List) … and the former is downloaded at 10-15 KB/s here
Tanks! But …
I just got 5.4.7 Win 32 and 5.4.7 Win 64 as well within less than 180 s.
(apologies for the unnecessary traffic I caused.)
I asked our infra, and they mentioned that IPv6 “not throttled”. Maybe you have that enabled (I don’t, since my ISP still doesn’t provide it!) 
…
How about putting still some older release but the latest stable release that works on Vista on frontpage and provide mirrors for that ??? I believe there are folks that still use Vista systems.
Mike, folks, 10 KB/sec nowadays. !!!
the “old” means the file located on Index of /libreoffice/old
and not mirrored elsewhere
Once again, we need here latest release that installs on VISTA 32 bit. Thank you.
And, again, it would be really nice if one VISTA 32-bit release will be mirrored on fastest servers than ones that work on wired modem from 1990s 
I’m pulling my hair here. Trying to download an old libreoffice version. This is completely impossible. The archive website gives me an timeout, i am unable to connect to it, tried multiple times. Also tried on my android celphone using mobile network, same problem. Please fix this! This is really annoying.
@J_Lebowski do you sincerely believe that all these years, the download archive was unavailable? Or else, why do you post in a thread talking about slow transfers, with your problem of unavailable server - which you could check e.g. using https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org?proto=https
Not to mention, that “please fix this” in a user-to-user “how do I?” Ask site is not really correct… However, I notified the infra.
With the reply: “it is due to ongoing maintenance and will be back up tonight”

No, what makes you think that? Strange supposition.

Because i don’t have all day to familiarise myself with a forum that i just subscribed to because there was no other way to ask this question, and using the search function on the website this was the first hit i got.
which you could check e.g. using https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org?proto=https
If you had read my post more attentive, you would have noticed that i did the same thing by using two different device to check the website , using two different networks, with two different operating systems.
Not to mention, that “please fix this” in a user-to-user “how do I?” Ask site is not really correct… However, I notified the infra.
Again, i don’t have all day to familiarise myself with your forum, i didnt even want to subscribe to it . I looked for an email address or telephone number to call but everywhere it was said that i had to subscribe to this forum. Excuse me for not spending my entire day studying your forum. Some people have more things to do in a day.
I just wanted to ask why the site was down and this seemed to be the “fastest” way (and look at me now, still spending time to a relative simple issue).
What you guys need is an possibility to ask easy simple questions without the need to enter a forum. Social media channels could be a good tool for that.
One could open the homepage (guess what would that be for LibreOffice? Try libreoffice dot org maybe?), and at the bottom, there are links to mastodon, twitter (or what’s its name), facebook, reddit…
