Adobe reader times out before it downloads - Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop

- I suggest you first clear browsing history. Clearing browsing history varies from the browser you are using:

If you are using Internet Explorer (go to Tools>Delete Browsing History)

For Firefox( click on the Firefox tab> History>Clear Recent History)

- Restart the browser and try to access download adobe reader again. If it;s still timing out, try to flush dns. Flushing dns will make the system recheck and refresh the DNS cache on your computer.

- Since the computer keeps address's of the websites you visit, it remembers the route and IP address of a specific website, if that changes and your computer still goes to the old route that's when you get a problem with visiting and downloading from the website, so the way to refresh your computer's DNS is to clear DNS cache.

1. Go to Start then type CMD on the search box.

2. When the black screen appears(command prompt), type in ipconfig /flushdns then press Enter on the keyboard.

- Restart your browser then try to download again.

- You may also try to use a different browser such as Google Chrome

Hope this helps.
