I have found 6 more books that are free downloads from Google. The
first 4 mainly concern wine. The last 2 are very old cookbooks that
mention wine.

Many thanks for the heads up. But this one seems to have disappeared.

I just tried again and all 6 including Three Seasons downloaded
completely in less than a minute. Perhaps there was a temporary
problem. Depending on the OS, browser, the version of Adobe ftp reader,
and how everything is configured, different computers can respond in
different ways. In some cases, you may get a blank screen until the
download is complete. In other cases you may be able to start reading
at the top nearly at once while lower pages are still downloading. I am
on broadband and many sites in the US will download at over 5 Mbps.
Using my domain and download rate test sites in Europe, download speeds
usually are lower. I get some fairly fast rates at two London test
sites. However, download rates can drop to 1 Mbps or even less for test
sites in some countries. On dialup, download time could be many
minutes, since some of the book files are many MB long. I used the
Windows XP OS, the Firefox browser, and the most recent version of the
Adobe ftp reader.

I put the file that gives you trouble up on my domain. This might work
better for you. It will be erased in a very few days. Go to
