I am having a hard time with the February issue.  I have tried downloading it on 3 different PC's.  If downloads about 5% then stalls and the download times out.  If it was just one computer, I would think it was my system, but 3 different computers, not so much.  All are PC's or Laptops running Windows 7.

I then went to the alternate download option and tried the 43 MB version.  It downloaded a version in portrait that I can't get to landscape.  I guess I have to download something else.  On my screen if I make it large enough to read, I can only see about a third of the page.  If I make where I can see a whole page its too small to read.  What started out pretty cool is now been enhanced to the point of being a real hassle.

Download the landscape version

Dave, try downloading the landscape version, it's most like the Gen1 format everyone is used to.

I can't tell from your post, but it looks like you have read previous months just fine, right?

As for downloads hanging when using the Flash downloader, also try the mirror (option is on the right). That's a completely different server in a completely different location and since it's a backup server, it has a lot less traffic.

Yesterday, we set download records and it's possible our servers were so overloaded that some people's download stalled more than usual.

Today download traffic will be a lot less, so it's worth a retry. Do the landscape version - download it and open it in Adobe reader - should work more or less like all the other issues did.

If you get really stuck, we can also try a remote assist on your computer, where you let us log in to your machine and drive. You just watch and we show you what to do.

Or you if you want to get answers quickly, go get some computer-savvy teen to help you. They'll have it working for you in no time!
