Download of adobe reader always stops around 50 %, message "download timeout". Protection is off. Connect to net with Cricket. Tried in both Firefox and EI.

You can try downloading Reader's full installer from

http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

You may want to try running this fix from Microsoft and uninstall all traces of any versions of Reader:

If you want to reinstall Reader, download its full installer from

http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

The problem is probably due to the fact you are trying to download a HUGE file through a wireless cell phone internet provider. I recommend you try going somewhere with wifi or a ethernet connection to the net.
