It's a caching problem. Check your cache settings. If they are set to 128MB or less, this file won't load. IIRC, Firefox won't put a single file that is bigger than half the max cache into the cache. If I set it to 128MB, then Firefox chops the file at 64,000 KB. If I set it to 64MB, then Firefox chops it at 32,000 KB. 

Set your cache to 135MB or higher and it will download fine.

That said, since 128MB is the default cache size, you could help your patrons out by just shrinking the file a little by optimizing it in Acrobat rather than depending upon what the Xerox scanner created. Just a quick optimization even in 6.02 yields a file that is less than 12MB.

HTH,
David
