Try a different browser dude. Or better yet use an ftp client if you want it bad enough. I dont know why yours dont work

To add, so long as you want it badly enough; why not simply just use the gazillion and one sources available through Kazaa or other P2P software, since you seem to be having problems downloading direct?
No offense or anything, but this is a P2P-centered forum so the solution does seem "kinda, sorta" logical, IMO. :) ;)

That is from the ftp site. It redirects here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html
I also went to download.com and had no problems downloading 6.0.1.
Also here is a mirror I found http://ftp.up.ac.za/mirrors/adobe.com/acrobatreader/win/6.x/
Just go to goggle and type in "adobe mirrors" :)
