pdfs and google, WTF?

[fs5]

didn't google used to directly link the pdf's? Now it's a redirect so when you right click on the link and save as it saves url.htm? wtf... did they change this recently?

When I right click and "Save As" on links to PDFs on Google it saves the PDF. I just tried it.

This is on WinXP + IE6 SP1

I do. Google Toolbar 2.0

 

[fs5]

okay I tried it on another computer and it gave the proper link, adaware time.

 

[fs5]

I give up, adaware didn't find anything, all my links begin with a google.com... must be something else.
