PDFs, Cyberia, and websites

[Stephan Pickering <stefanpickering2002@yahoo.com>]

For those, like me, who have found it sometimes
difficult to access some websites and download papers
(sometimes causing one's computer to "freeze up"), or
open email attachments from Europe and find the
process takes longer than usual...there is an
explanation (courtesy of the technical staff at both
Hewlett Packard and google.com). What one is trying to
view is an optimized PDF file, served in large bytes,
and several internet servers do not handle the data
well (especially if one has a low bandwidth dial-up
connexion, or a slow CPU computer). This can cause, as
it did for me on some occassions at the GAIA website, 
the computer to "freeze up".
The solution is to RIGHT click on the link to the file
one wants, selecting "Save target as". A box will
appear, asking where one wants to save the file. One
is to then select a location one will be able to find
the paper on one's local drive, and click "ok". After
the file is downloaded (regardless of the time
involved), one can find the file in the same place one
selected earlier (one can navigate through "My
computer"). The file will, then, open with Acrobat
Reader when one double-clicks on it.
