Can't download BEA300_m2 without JRE as advertised.

Defect on the web page. ----[snippet]---- List text: Download Installation Sets without Java Runtime Environment from here: Link Text: Windows 120 MB Link URL: http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OOo-Dev&os=win&lang=en-US&version=BEA300_m2 Link redir: developer/BEA300_m2/OOo-Dev_BEA300_m2_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe File Size: 151,470,794 (144M) ----[snippet]---- I've checked a few mirrors, there is no Windows binary for BEA300_m2 without JRE. I would certainly LIKE to get the beta WITHOUT the JRE, as I already keep it up to date. Several other applications use JRE, and they do NOT all force me to download an installer bundled with JRE. It saves you the bandwidth and data transfer, saves me download time and disk space, better for everyone.
Hm, the link to OOo-Dev_BEA300_m2_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe works just fine for me. And this is a functional equivalent to the beta. Feel free to reopen the issue if there are further problems.
120 != 144 Yes, the link works, if the only requirement is that it returns a file (whether or not the file returned is the same as advertised on the site text surrounding the link). BUT! The website advertises a 120MB file WITHOUT JRE included. The file returned is 144MB? It's with or without JRE? Seems like +24MB means with JRE? If the file is correct, WITHOUT JRE, then the web page text needs an update to 144MB to avoid confusion. Not a large bug, an easy fix, if this is all. Understand my confusion? Where does this 120MB number come from? Merely a typo? Or a script pulls it in from somewhere? 120 != 144
Now I understand what produces te confusion. Joost, please correct the size mentioned on the download pages.
Thank you for the efforts, it has been corrected! I hope the other numbers are correct too. ;-)
