Well your file is corrupted.(bad download)
You should download acrobat reader again or download from a different server. ;)

If you use a download manager (for instance, FlashGet) you can choose 'repair' corrupted files... But, generally, Check sum errors need another download like Hawk posted  ;)

Could it be a problem with your connection or your ISP?

Mike
Do you use a download Manager?
Who is your ISP ?
You can get a download Manager HERE. They offer both a free or Pro version.

Why not download from Adobe? Adobe Reader

And before downloading. Close the browser. Remove ALL temporary files, cookies, temporary internet files, cache files, and remove everything from downloaded internet files.

Especially when there is a corrupt download in the last one you often see this behaviour.

hehe looks like I was right. The dl manager has its own temp folder. So when downloading with the manager nothing looks in the default windows folders and so not seeing the corrupted download.
