1) Sitting in home office, on major university campus: the only
currently available broadband at this point is DSL, and I'm actually
slightly beyond the legal range. Ergo, 384K download rate at best.
Downloading a 3 or 4 MB PDF is a "sit and wait process" for 10-20
seconds at least before anything appears (and at weekend cottage, access
is 20K dial-up only).
3) Downloading a PDF means it shows up on your HD. If you don't happen
to want it you eventually have to delete. If you want to keep it and
save it under a name you prefer rather than it's original name, have to
do the Save process, find and erase the original copy, put the saved
copy where you want it on your HD.
4) Downloading in browser, viewing in Acrobat, means jumping back and
forth between apps and windows -- not a biggy, but not a clean process
either.
Being able to "click, click, click" through first few frames of the
document more or less instantly before deciding to download whole thing
or not is very handy, IMHO (and experience) at any rate.
