I have not tried it yet, but I know the files appeared to be VERY large.........some were PDF I think....you can try instead of clicking on the file, click and hold to "download link to disk" That is what the mac says, pc may have a different instruction. But that way you are saving it to your computer, then open from your desktop, much less risk for errors. I will attempt to get there and try it this afternoon and resend what happens to my try.

I right clicked on the Maryland ZIP file (38.2MB) and downloaded in about 11 minutes, using a PC with a medium highspeed cable connection. I got five PDF files which I'm able to read fairly easily. Larger files and/or slower connections could take a lot longer.
