Ah! more preferences!
I use multiple open browser windows. As one browser is working, another one
(or more) can be used to do whatever. In fact, many times the OS treats the
acrobat as a separate FTP which runs independent of the IE window.
I'm using a tweeked up Win 98 SE and IE 6.0 on a P4/2.6gig/ 512meg system.
Maybe your system acts differently if it has an old OS or limited resources?
I haven't experienced the problem that you described about having to wait
for the download.
