What can I do to get Acrobat?

PS: My internet connection works fine. It must be a problem on the other side.

As you can see, the download is failing repeatedly. Try again from a different internet connection. This could also be a temporary issue with the archive.org servers.

@ArchismanPanigrahi this is no temporary failure, since it fails today, too. My connection is fine. It must be on the server side.

Please check if you can manually download the installer with the command `wget https://web.archive.org/web/2000/http://x3270.bgp.nu/download/specials/W2KSP4_EN.EXE`.

@ArchismanPanigrahi no, wget fails, too. Does it work for you?

Yes, it works for me. It must be some sort of network issue on your side.

Maybe you can download this file from another computer/another network, copy it to this computer, and modify `/snap/acrordrdc/62/sommelier/hooks/pre-install` to use it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
