Well if the download manager said it download then it is there.

Open the download manager and see where was put.

Wholey crap on a cracker, I just noticed you have Desktop Firefox 11, never mind I am not sure what you can do.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps to download the Adobe Reader file.

If that still fails then you will have to use another computer to download the file and use an USB stick too transfer the file.
