Check out my page, there is a maintenance manual.

All the documents load fine EXCEPT the maintenance manual.

Since I need to tear down the X axis for some repair work, I'd like to
see how much work I'm getting into.

That's great. It is a big file.

I had no trouble with that -- either with Adobe's acroread, or
with the unix xpdf -- both displayed it with no trouble.

Perhaps your copy got corrupted in downloading? Here is the
size (from a unix directory listing):

================================================== ====================
-rw-r--r-- 1 dnichols family 8647229 Jan 24 20:17 bridgeport-ops-maintenance-manual.pdf
================================================== ====================

and (if you are using unix and have the "sum" command available:

================================================== ====================
32440 16890 bridgeport-ops-maintenance-manual.pdf
================================================== ====================

and the MD5 checksum:

================================================== ====================
MD5 (bridgeport-ops-maintenance-manual.pdf) = 7478391ee7012d480965cb9f495b098c
================================================== ====================

which I think is available for Windows as well.

Anyway -- re-download it to see whether that makes a difference.

Try again with the download and see whether that makes a
difference.

Good Luck,
DoN.

Iggy's site was slow in the middle of the day. I think he has other
applications on his server.

I run Bit Torrent and have a webserver of minor importance. Nothing
much beyond that. Sometimes it is worse and sometimes it is better.

O.K. I downloaded all of the Bridgeport files last night, and
only looked at them today when I saw you were having a problem. I
thought that you had (as I did) downloaded them fully and only fired up
a PDF reader to view them once they were all on the local system.

Enjoy,
DoN.

I loaded that a few months ago, with uncertainty, and immediately
removed it. I have a real problem giving other people my computer
cycles. My box slowed to molasses and I was seeing tons of hard drive
access without any of my own programs open. Scary ****, Maynard. I
thought I had a nasty virus and everyone was sucking my hard drive
dry. Lesson learned.

I have Azureus for a Bit Torrent client, and I can limit upload speed
to what is acceptable to me. I limites it to 50 kilobytes per second,
about 500 kbps.

I use utorrent, to down load the latest Redhat Fedora releases. You can
limit bandwidth, set times to throttle down to nothing so your bandwidth is
only being hit while you are at work or sleeping.

Just wanted to mention some bt traffic is entirely legitimate no mater what
the RIAA might claim.
