I need to be able to view pdf files and only have a 21 kbps connection. How long will it take to download the minimum files needed?
Any other options available?

The installer .exe is what you'd want.

ya, i second that. It does have some trouble with special adobe extensions, but most of the time it will be fine. Been using it for a few years now.
