I have Vista and Seamonkey 2.0.11. My wife has the same software on her pc.
When I try to read the Madrid attractions section (a PDF file) at
http://www.maribelsguides.com/ it loads only about half of the file,
then stops.
My wife's computer loads the whole file using Seamonkey, and my computer
loads the whole file using IE.
This makes me think the problem is not with adobe, but with the
configuration of either Vista or Seamonkey on my computer, but I have
been all through the preferences section and can find nothing that to me
sets a limit on the size of files I can open.
Any suggestions on where I should look? I already tried swapping
computers with my wife, but she caught me.
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.
Had no problem loading the Link (use PDF Browser Plugin by Schubert) Do
have a 1mb synchronous DSL Line.
