At first I thought this was a link to a site, a page, something interesting.
But its an actual PDF file download.

A model file I assume?
I don't know because I stopped the file download immediately.

I didn't expect a download to begin when I clicked the link.
I didn't notice the pdf extension.
...so it was an unexpected surprise when a download started.

Although I appreciate the free model... or whatever it is?,
I think it would be a good idea to state what the link is for.
State what the included link is for.
Not just post a file for download with no other info.

I'm sure no harm was intended but I hate surprises like this.

Some of the nastier viruses that are out there come in PDF form exploiting Acrobat.

agreed...but lets not imply that this PDF contained anything malicious.

it was just the surprise of a download starting,
when I clicked a link in the post.

to me, the post resembled a "look at this cool stuff here" kind of link.

I'm sure its also a language barrier issue.
Maybe Jaska didn't realize to put a little more info thats all.

If you hover over the link the status at the bottom reveals what it points to.

Take it from a guy who got hit twice by that virus and had to wipe two systems. =\
