Trouble with the PDF version of the magazine

Whenever I have tried to download the magazine PDF, both my Adobe reader and browser crash.  I've had the same trouble on both Internet Explorer and Firefox.  I've tried several times, and I was able to download the November issue once, but haven't been able to do it again (I don't know what was different about that time). 

I've never had trouble with PDF files (and still don't) on other websites.  Is there something I need to change in my security settings for yours?

I'm a bit frustrated because the magazine looks very good.  The two articles I was able to read were really interesting and what I skimmed over all looked like stuff I wanted to get back to.

This is strange. Try the following: right-click on the file to download and then choose "save as" from the menu. Then try to open the PDF outside of the web browser.

I have not changed the PDF version, ever since I uploaded it, so it should work. I wonder if other people have the same problem.

I also have had some issues downloading the pdf files, my son is a computer geek and had the same prob with all of our computers, the fix was using safari its faster and more reliable, hope this helps.
