links don't work on War Room posts

I just posted my first thread in the War Room offering my new 44 page ebook.
The link goes to my ebook pdf file, but does not load. Since my ebook is over
3 mgb it was too large for the forum, so I loaded it into Google Docs to get a url.
We tested this url in several web browsers and they worked ok. When I used this
url in my thread however it doesn't work. It goes to my Google Docs pdf page and my ebook title appears in the address bar instead of my Google Docs url and it does not load my pdf. I converted the link to a BB code hyperlink and got the same results. It sounds like it's a compatible problem between Google docs and the forum posts, but I don' have a clue how to work around this problem, can anyone give me a work around solution? By the way my pdf is on the standard Adobe reader. Thanks,
Jerry

    I've also noticed this in various War Room posts from time to time. Not sure what causes it though. Did you paste the URL directly into the thread, or did you use the 'insert link' button? Also, you might try putting the PDF in a zipped file first, and see if you can download it then.

      Thanks for you reply Brandon. I converted my link on the forum into a bb code hyperlink, and it seems to be working ok. When I tested it yesterday it didn't seem to work. but I think that when it tried to load on the Warrior forum it just may be that the Warrior server was overloaded and it took a couple minutes and I gave up. Today it was still slow loading, maybe 20-30 seconds but it loaded just fine and all links worked..Thanks again.
