I had only a few, weird problems with it.  I have Adobe Reader as a 
plug-in, so it comes up as almost a preview.  A couple of times, when I 
clicked on a file, it would just go to a blank screen and sit.  If I hit 
the "back" button on the web program (Internet Explorer in this case) and 
then clicked on it again, it would work.  From when it was up on the 
screen, I just saved the paper for personal use and educational purposes 
(that is legally correct, right?).  I think the site may be having problems 
due to the amount of traffic it is getting from a certain mailing list all 
trying to view/download the papers at the same time.
