I started the download and it appeared to download(status bar shows progress until it completes then nothing.  Can't find the download in my Desktop or anywhere else.  sudo updatedb followed by locate <filename shown above> only returns the cursor line.  During the download or as it is finishing a popup appears(gdebi I think) saying its the wrong architecture appears and I know that but why doesn't the default FF browser download it.  If it did, I would use sudo dpkg --force-architecture <file name.deb> to install it as I did for my Brother printer which worked ok. Always have been able to download from the internet before?  read the ubuntu howtos.  However, Canonical and medibuntu don't have or wont download acroread.

There used to be an Acroread 32/64 release available at Medibuntu, I
have it (V. 8.1.3 for Intrepid - can't remember if it was the buggy
one) and it runs perfectly on Jaunty 64 and Shiretoko (Firefox) 3.5.3.
Seems it is not available anymore.

The page is http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/acroread.html but
the internal links seem to be broken.
