I see a problem with the hotel guide at
<http://maribelsguides.com/mg_madridhotels.pdf>.  After downloading
about half the PDF file, further downloading occurs only as I scroll
down in the file.  The complete file downloaded only when I tried to
view the last page.

I saw a similar problem with a dial-up connection at Vanguard mutual
funds.  I wanted a form for converting part of an IRA to a Roth IRA.
The PDF file was less than 500 KB but would stop at slightly over 200
KB.  Nothing I did would result in the remaining file downloading.  What
was especially frustrating was that the form was only 8 pages out of 36
in the file -- 8 pages near the beginning of the file -- but the
partially downloaded file could not be opened; the entire file had to
download before I could open it.  With a broadband connection, the
problem went away.

I suspect this is a server problem.  The server might time-out without
having sent all packets.
