Trouble downloding manual

Postby EKinMN [OP] » Oct 12 2010, 3:44am

When I click on the 2010 Sierra manual, i get about 1/2 of it downloaded, and the screen goes black. Anyone else have this issue? Could it be my PC?

Thanks!

It may seem silly but I think the new manuals are designed in a newer version of Adobe Reader so they only download progressively as you view the different pages of the manual. Try clicking around in the manual and you'll notice the download progress bar move further towards 100%.

The other thing you can do is click the SAVE button to save the manual to your desktop machine. That seems to kick the download into high gear without stopping.

I'll admit there is something definitely quirky about the 2010 Sierra Manual. I'll keep investigating.

Thanks for working on it, Austin.
I tried to save it to my desktop. It downloaded 4.63 of 4.65 MB, and froze. I had to re-boot to get out. Weird.

I just re-uploaded the PDF to the server. You want to try again?
