For those on a dialup and lower speed connections left clicking on a
25mb pdf file will tie up your browser for a long... long time as the
pdf attepts to load in your browser. Large pdf files should be
downloaded directly to your computer and then opened with Acrobat
Reader. To download to your computer you would right click on the pdf
file and select "save target as" in Internet Explorer or "Save Link As"
in Mozilla . With the exe extension created by the self extracting zip
file there is no need to right click, just clicking prompts to download
directly to your computer.
