    I've finally managed to upgrade from 56k to ADSL. A blistering 6.5Mb/s :cool: I can almost download links before I click on them :~ I think I might do download the internet just to see how long it takes :rolleyes:

                      Acrobat Reader has solved this problem for me - kind of. When I click any PDF file, A**Reader starts up and terminates immediately. It works only if I started an A**Reader instance separately without document.
