My Refcard Won't Download. What happened?
While most users won't have any problems (thousands have successfully gotten their PDFs), there are a few users that might experience problems. The primary places where this might happen:
- You have an overly aggressive firewall on your network
- You're using an older Lotus Notes + IE 6 to read your email and download the PDF
- You're using IE7 with IE7Pro
To solve these problems, try the following things. If you're already hit your maximum number of download attempts, please email support@dzone.com and forward us the email that contained your download link.
- This sometimes happens with IE 6 and the Firewall. Try using IE 7 or Firefox.
- We've had reports that just using IE 6 works fine, Lotus Notes appears to be the problem.
- This is a recent report, but it looks like IE7 Pro causes some problems with downloads. Check that other downloads work or try Firefox.

Browsers are not the issue. Poor design of the PDF hosting technology is more the issue. To suggest that people change browsers just to download PDF's is out of touch. I suggest fixing the problem if you want users to be happy.

Please help me to get the PDF files. I have tried. I am not able to get it. I have registered myself in this site too. Please email me the attachment or give me the proper link to download it.
Thanks
