I really like the script. I did few rather cosmetic changes, see the attached 
file:

	+ renamed to download-go-oo.py
	+ added #!/usr/bin/python, so that it could by started as normal command
          when you add executive permission
	+ added Copyright and License comment; I think that the BSD license is a good
          choice for such a script; Feel free to choose another license. You
          might also put it into public domain. We just need a free license
          before we make it available on the go-oo site. See
          http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses
          for other choices.
	+ add '--' to the option names; it is more typical for linux tools
	+ updated help message to get more typical structure
	+ changed default language to "en_US"
	+ fixed --localization option to actually work (the localization
          variable was unused ;-)

Do you agree with these changes?

Could we make the attached script available at http://go-oo.org/download/?
