(1) Keep trying. The mirror thing may be temporary. (It's working fine
for me right now, at least using up2date.)
(2) Try up2date.
(3) Download all the openoffice.org* RPMs and install locally.
(4) Install your local copy of openoffice.org-core with rpm -ivh --nodeps,
then update the others via yum.
I'm not sure if yum will resolve dependencies remotey for local installs.
It might. The worst that can happen if you try is it'll complain and
fail.
