This is just an addition to some users who may believe *.exe or similar types of files are being blocked or reduced in download speed.

You may comment, but no records will be taken from this.

Download the ~~world's largest prime number~~ text file from the New Zealand Connections iPhone site (6.19MB) - remember to right click and "Save link/shortcut as...".

It just not big enough: Download the world's largest prime number text file from the NZ Connections iPhone site (9.35MB)

Just be warned that some computers may not be able to handle such a large text file!
