Can't download PDFs chapter by chapter

[Carnivorous_Bean]

Well, I finally broke down and bought the PDFs of the Core Rulebook and the Bestiary.

And now I can't download them a chapter at a time.

The Bestiary, for example offers me the choice of downloading it as a 49 MB file, or a 60 MB file. Given the creaky nature of my Internet connection, I was hoping to get the books in slightly smaller chunks.

The core rulebook "by chapters" download is showing as a single 148 MB file.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

The "by chapter" versions do contain a single PDF for each chapter of the book—but they're zipped up into a single file so there's only one object to download.

You might want to look into freeware or shareware download managers that are capable of resuming interrupted downloads.

Okay, many thanks. I've got a download manager, actually, I was just hoping that there was a more compartmentalized way of downloading. Guess I'll just download the single file versions, since those are actually smaller.
