Secondly, I have to agree with Martin in that "huge" is somewhat
'relative' - for example, I routinely work with video files in the range
of
13 to 20 Giga bytes, which I think of as normal - so I tend to think of
your
'huge' 14MB as being 'trivial' (took less than 2 1/2 minutes to download).


Well, for the 70% of American internet users still on dial-up connections, a
14 mb file will take all day to download.

That's "huge" for most people!
