In build 1.0.4 PDF documents seem to download OK, but when opened they are
corrupt.  This did not happen in 1.0.3.  This may be an error in the new build.
 I have downloaded the same documents in IE6 without issue.  I am currently
running Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.1 and Adobe Reader 7.0.1  This is a minor
irritation since I have a work around, but thought I would send it along.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to included web site.
2. Right click on a PDF link and download file.
3. Try to open file in Acrobat.

Actual Results:  
Acrobat states the file is corrupt.

Expected Results:  
Opened the document.

I concur with Peter. Using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 I am able to download and view the
relevant files in Acrobat. IMHO, this is a WONTFIX.

find using ff 1.0.4/winxp.

Larry, maybe a connection issue. Are you on dialup?
