[jQuery] Can JQuery ease the pain of downloading a large PDF?


Hi,
We have a very large PDF (~ 37 MB) on our server. We give users the
option to download this file, On a PC, (Firefox or IE), when you try
and download this file, the page just hangs as the file tries to
load. I'm on a broadband and its as if the computer freezes.
So, shot in the dark ... is there anything JQuery can do to help, not
necessarily to make the download faster, but to make it more graceful
and give the user some info about what is happening?
Thanks, - Dave
