Barry, I have popups blocked in Firefox, I simply don't see them, so they can't be the problem either. Just block popups as a matter of course, makes life much simpler. I also have scripts blocked, I allow scripts on a site by site basis.

I have experienced this problem with Adobe Acrobat and other sites as well, particularly with larger files, this one is >600Kb. I right click the links and use Save Link As in preference to just clicking on the link, whick then tries to open the file in Adobe Acrobat.

The right click and Save Link As method is also much faster, not only with pdf files but also with video files (mp4 and the like).

Hope that helps.

I have been using full version of Adobe Acrobat for about 8 years and only had that problem when running ver 4. I am now running ver 8 and that is the first time I have had it happen in six years and I download much bigger files than that all the time. I usually use Mozilla and have the popups blocked. I think the popup came when I was using IE because I can't remember if I have them blocked in IE but I do geta warning in Mozilla when it tries so open a popup and I think that is when it stops acrobat.

Rocker,

PM sent.

Thanks, Steve.

Barry,

I am not clear as to when you right-click. On the link in my blog? Or on the Mediafire download button? When I right click on the latter, the option is called 'Save Target as'; is that what you mean by save link as?

Rocker

Hi Rocker,

I don't know what's happened but I just tried downloading from your site again and it worked fine.

Thanks,

Steve

I must be tired after a long week, because I don't see your blog Rocker anywhere below.

Just downloaded the jig PDF in 15 seconds with Fresh Download, a download manager running 6 simultaneous channels. No hassles with that.
Thanks Rocker for the file.

Yes that is it. Two different things in IE and Mozilla.

You must be really worn out There is a link below which says 'Free downloadable plans ... '. Click on that and you will see my blog.

Tried this page in IE and your link showed up but not in Firefox, oh thats right I have signatures or something turned off. Plus I was looking at the very bottom of the page.

Hi Rocker,
I was looking at your blog and noticed a roll top desk that you built. The desk looks very nice, well done.
I have been looking for a roll top desk for sometime. Would you have the plans for the desk? If so, where could I download them from. I do like that desk.

Mike

Mike,

This thread: https://www.woodworkforums.com/showth...=Roll-top+desk hopefully tells you all you want to know about my rolltop desk. As they say, do a search on the forum, and all will be revealed.

Hi guys, I came accross this jig in a book i've got, found it interesting and reakon it would be a good project in itself, i can email specs and exploded pics to anyone interested,the thing i like the most is that you can hook up the dust extraction!
