Try another mirror even if it's not located in your country. I got a good download from the Yellow Fiber Network (USA).

Hi there. I also have this freezing problem on my netbook. Can easily reproduce it when fast scrolling a big document with images in LibreOffice 3.5.3.2. Updating Java to 1.7.0.03 didn't help but after disabling Java in LibreOffice I hadn't had any more crashes. I'll monitor it and report back.
(sigh) The freezing problem returned today with the new install of Maya/Cinnamon on my Thinkpad R61 when scrolling through a long document in LibreOffce. Disabling Java in LO doesn't help and replacing LO 3.5.3 with the latest version directly downloaded and installed from the LO website doesn't help either. And I really though i was on to something. Oh well...onward. I have to keep working on this since returning to Linux Mint 12/Cinnamon, which worked like a champ, really isn't an option. So it's back to a problem with Cinnamon itself?
Update: I added Cinnamon-nightly PPA and modified my /etc/apt/"preferences" file according the following instructions:
I've updated Cinnamon to the latest nightly build and I can now scroll a long document in LO Writer without the system freezing--so far. I'll give it a day or so and see.

Just remember that the Cinnamon package from the cinnamon-nightly PPA will probably all show as 1.4.0 UP3 for awhile yet. The thing you need to look at is the build number that comes after it. Cinnamon 1.4 UP3 came with Linux Mint 13 but the cinnamon-nightly version from the PPA is not the same one. It's the latest build from Git I believe. Just so there's no confusion. If you knew this already, please disregard my last.
