OpenOffice update fails - bad gpg

I've been trying to install the openoffice update for the last several days.
Every time, it fails due to bad gpg signatures.  Has anyone had a successful
download and, if so, what Fedora mirror did you use?

Steve:

As recommended elsewhere on the list, get the rpm files FIRST.  The files are huge, one of them over 100MB and will take a long time.  If you are using up2date, the default download directory is /var/spool/up2date.  Once you retrieve the files to the appropriate directory, then run up2date.  It will recognize that you previously downloaded the files and use them.  As far as a FTP client, I use gftp, but any ftp client that will allow restart should suffice.  And I used mirrors.kernel.org for the download as I am located more towards the US West coast than the East coast, but you should be able to use any mirror site for the download.  I would stay away from the main Fedora site as it has a heavier load than most of the mirror sites.

Looking forward to November 8th for more than one reason.
