I've been getting Azed from the Guardian site for years, but for the past couple of months I haven't been able to access it there; whenever I click on the link for it, Internet Explorer shuts down (most mysterious). The first time this happened AB was kind enough to send me a PDF link for it, and since then I've been able to google the current puzzle number to find an accessible link, but I tried it today and there isn't one. Has anyone else had this problem?

I downloaded the Azed via Chrome browser.

Aristo if you are using IE9 and the file you're trying to download is a .pdf then there is glitch which makes downloading pdf as good as impossible. Try using another web browser.

I download PDFs all the time; in this case I can't get to the Azed page at all, and a red X appears with a message saying that Explorer had to be shut down. This has never happened with anything else. As said above, I used to be able to find another PDF of Azed by googling, and that worked perfectly well, but there isn't one today.

I know it doesn't help but for the record I'm using Internet Explorer and the link works. Hope you sort it out.
