Michael: Why do you need to try wxDownload 5 times? Can't you resume using that program? That was what I wanted you to test. If you cannot resume, then again please send me the incomplete file, because that could contain a lot of hints as to what is wrong and whether I could fix it on IMSLP's side ...

I have received several reports of problems with dial-up connections. I would advise you to use a download manager (like http://dfast.sourceforge.net/). That way, if the download stops midway, you can resume it. You will need to paste in the URL to the PDF file into the download manager though, unl...
