For the pdf to be available you need to trick google into thinking you are in USA by using a VPN or PSiphon (free software available here : https://psiphon.ca/fr/download.html?psiphonca ) and choose a US server.

I have been asked to upload the files but I can't do it right now.

Cheers,

Ah, most downloadable in the US only. I found the Google online versions when searching, but only Volume 4 was downloadable.

I could probably use a VPN or the software, but don't know about the latter's security aspects.

For now I'll just hopefully await their upload to BOCN.
 
This situation is commnly met with google books. The solution is simple:
Just use a free web proxy compatible with php (most are not, allowing you to get to the page but not to open the pdf though the php link) - only change in the address the google.fr with google.com and choose a US server
For instance this one:
This avoids installing on your pc an unknown software.

I certainly getting old and less inclined to take risks Chris. Plus, though can normally set all this stuff up (I'm generally IT savvy and have been using PC since the 1970s and building PCs for decades), I just wasn't clear about the security risk for something that was useful and interesting, but wasn't high priority.

I have used web proxy and VPN tools, but stopped due to their every increasing costs and/or legality issues.

Personally I wouldn't have realised Google files had restricted download access as I wasn't in the US? Some much for net neutrality.
