The sever does not send the file size info. Work around... Use Cntrl+Enter to get the page. Then Back, Forward, relink without holding the cntrl key. This points-out another bug in v1.70;r.3 We can't relink (or take a different link), after using Cntrl+Enter. All links on the current page are "dead" untill we leave the page and come back to it.
