Can download up to 102 pages of this 104 page document.  Multiple attempts to
download failed thru Foxfire.  Download works fine on the same computer using
IE6.  Also works on husband's computer using Netscape and an earlier version of
Adobe reader.  I can email the downloaded file from husband's computer and it
opens flawlessly on my computer.  Problem seems to be with Foxfire download.  I
have also noted freeze-up problems earlier in attempted downloads of other pdf
files, but did not capture the urls.  Guess I'll be using IE6 in the future for
pdf downloads.  Pity - I really would prefer to use foxfire.

Sorry i couldn't figure out how to do the mozilla build test before submitting
this.  My geek score is really low.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.hosta.org/Judges_Corner/AHS2005HostaShowClassificationList.pdf 
2.Download file
3.

Actual Results:  
File partially downloaded (amount varied, but max. I could get was 102 pages out
of 104.)  Screen usually froze up

Expected Results:  
Completed the download

I noted that in IEG, the progress of the download was noted by a running total
of download vs. size of file.  You should incorporate this into Foxfire.  It is
helpful to see the progress of the download.
