Migrating Larger Files to Google Docs

We've been having problems with both Rapidshare and Scribd for hosting larger documents, such as the full DDRA and various longer reports. For these reasons, we're going to be migrating larger files to Google Docs over the next few days. Shorter documents (fact sheets etc.) will remain on Scribd.

If you're having problems downloading any document, please don't hesitate to email tjsutcliffe[at]arcdc[dot]net and I can email you the document directly.

Thanks to everyone for your patience!
