The server does not send the Content-Disposition [1] header, so if your browser auto-downloads the PDF then either you've made poor choices about your browser config or you have a browser that can't itself show PDFs, in which case you may have made a poor choice of browser.

Surely a browser that shows PDFs itself downloads them in order to do so? (I don't know for sure what was bothering anw, but I'm often on a limited data connection, and, whether the PDF is displayed in my browser or dropped in the download folder, it hits my data allowance the same.)
If they file size was the concern, they would have said so. There are a lot of web pages that weigh in at more bytes than this PDF these days with all of their images and scripts and god-knows-what.
