Rick,

You are obviously right, that section of the Adobe site has issues.

Here's the deal, to the best of my knowledge:

The Adobe File Assistant is a "program" which allows you to do things like add multiple downloads to your basket. If I remember correctly, the first time I tried to download something from the Exchange I was asked if I wanted to download the file assistant. I did, but thereafter found it to be pretty useless. Just clicking the download link seemed to work fine (it's not like I was adding and saving 20 Exchange downloads to my basket). But, alas, as you mention, the download links don't even seem to be working now..

Here's a little work-around/ test I did and it semed to work (presuming you are on a Windows machine):

Right-click any exchange product download link and choose "Save Target As" from the context menu. From my tests, you will get the exact same file as if it downloaded as it should.

Hopefully this helps. Like you, I'm hoping Adobe resolves this issue in short order. Just for the sake of not discouraging current or new Adobe users.

(P.S. - I saw your posts in the GL forum but just hadn't had a spare moment to reply until now)
