Download links?

I’m currently learning web design and have just started using wordpress as my CMS, just to get a feel for writing basic html by seeing how it turns out interactively without having to write each new page from scratch. Right now I’d like to have a page with a bunch of download links for various pdf-documents. The simplest way to do this that I know of is simply to setup a new page and then add in

Link title displayed on the page

And sure, the link itself shows up just fine, but I seem to have fuddled up the search path, because all I get when clicking on it is a good old 404. So basically I’m just wondering if anyone here who knows better could point out how you’re supposed to write it? I’ve tried a bunch of different ways, but alas.
And yep, I’m sure that the directory “dokument” contains the file in question, and that it’s properly placed under the main directory “public_html”.
