Thanks all, we are in a situation where we deal with a lot of users uploading documents, our clients then have to use them.
For some reason the Word Plugin in IE doesnt just straight download the data, it breaks it up into 30kb packets and then has big time lag between them (like 600ms from the US). This is way too slow, particularly when you think that a word doc has the entire history of the doc inside it (unwanted and unused info) and averages 1.5Mb on our systems. If you have to go through this everytime for 40 users, you are gonna get pissed. To top it all off it then hangs when closing the browser window. Now - we have thought about forcing the download - in pronciple this would be ok but would require retraining. And its not the best User experience, so we figure that if we can convert the doc to HTML then we alleviate the issue (and the unwanted data), if they need to see the original then they can d/l right?
