  I uploaded pdfs of various sizes into my media library about 1 meg. They used to open ok in the media library and when linked to in the blog. But now all I get is a page heading and file name which tries to download the file very slowly when it is clicked. Example:
  http://lastparadisefilm.com/?attachment_id=1713

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  http://lastparadisefilm.com/?attachment_id=1713 is just the attachment page. You’ll need to actually link to the file’s URL instead, which is http://lastparadisefilm.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/talk-story-poster-hawaii.pdf

  When inserting a link to the file after uploading, make sure that you select for it to link to the File URL.
