Hi Bill:

I right clicked and selected save target as and had no problem.
But it is a large file, so takes some download time.
It's a quality copy job, the photos look great.
I just finished adding Adobe bookmarks to my copy.

73,

Brooke Clarke, N6GCE

Yes, had similar problems. Direct click in Firefox started to open it as
an Adobe document. I have had problems before with large docs opened in
Firefox via Adobe (it can't all be perfect yet) so I killed it.

I then tried to go up one level so that I could point to the link and
say "save link as". Unfortunately this site wouldn't allow access to the
parent level. If possible, future posters could help the situation if
acess was allowed to both the file and its home directory.

So I took the link of the pdf file and plugged it into a download
program that I snagged years back. It downloaded fine. It has also saved
me before when several attempts to download a big file by web page
methods failed. It downloaded fine but also would have had the option to
restart if things had gone bad somewhere in the middle of the download.

Just offering this tip on what worked for me this time. Hope it helps.

I had the same problem.

Alberto,

When I click on the link I go right into Acrobat 5, but the
Acrobat screen does not finish building. When the download
is displayed, there is no Acrobat screen and no way to save
the file.

Anyone else have better luck?

the reduction in size is minimal. The URL is

I have FireFox as well, so I tried Rex's suggestion and it worked fine.  I might
comment that it apparently now integrates directly into FireFox as a plugin and
once installed required no further action other than just entering the link.

Thanks Rex!

you don't need to have access to the upper level. Just right-click on

That site hosts a commercial application (not mine, but which I
supervise technically), so I limited somewhat the possibility of
navigation there.

I use Fiirefox as well, and had no problems when I tried to redownload
it as a check.

Hi Alberto
The right-click method works if you are reading in a browser (I just tried it
using SquirrelMail). However, I couldn't do that using LookOut (OutLook).
Fortunately, Rex's method also works, so there are at least two ways to
circumvent the problem.

Hmmmm, then it depends on the mail client you use.... I switched away
from OutLook many years ago, and presently I use Thunderbird (the
companion of Firefox), which offers that choice on the right-click. I
have never regretted to have completely erased both IE and OutLook from
my PC.... never seen a virus since then.

I think that the version of the 10811 manual is the one I scanned - at
least, the file size is the same.  You can also download it from:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dga/time/

(it's linked, so you can right click).  The foldouts are also there, if
you're interested in the schematics.  I also have a mirror of the
manual that Hubert Bonhorst scanned.

MD5 of my version is ba2b2c04bfe97514da95153ab75f1085  if you want to
avoid d/l'ing the same thing twice.

Alberto,

Thank you for placing this document on your website!

I'm on cable and the download went fine--bit slower than normal, but no
problems at all using Firefox with Acrobat 6.  The slowness of download
was undoubtedly due just to bandwidth limitations some where along the path.
