Hello,
I have found that some browsers choke on large files (quite often .pdfs
or .tiffs). This usually happens when a file starts to download and then
"hangs" at certain point and never completes the download. You might be
able to fix this by by increasing the storage of your offline cache. In
Firefox it's Tools>Options>Advanced>Network>Offline Storage. In Internet
Explorer it's Tools>Internet Options>Browsing History>Settings>Disc
Space to Use. I'm not sure about Chrome, but I'd bet that it can be
adjusted, too. I usually set it to the maximum allowed storage.
Alternatively, you might try right clicking and saving the link to your
desktop/hard drive and then opening the saved file. If neither of these
solutions work, I'm out of ideas.
