For those doubting - yes, that file really does contain 224 pages. Textual content is *tiny* compared to many other data types, and also compresses very well.

1138160 2010-09-21 09:48:00 Hmmm, I'm getting a slightly higher file size. For the record, my ISP is Xtra.

Size (bytes); 1,293,326
CRC-32; EF6A8ED9
MD5; B85088245103F8C3729BB8019E361E05
SHA1; 1174CCB5878A1955EE9AC1535E83F01C910172F4

Edit; Just downloaded it again, and it gives the same checksums. The speed is low enough to suggest that it's not being cached.

I can't open this file - the one I downloaded earlier (via Vic uni's proxy) was fine though.

1138163 2010-09-21 11:16:00 Maybe... I've got two (identical) copies. One downloaded at 3.45am this morning, the other 8.50pm this evening. ubergeek85 (131)
1138164 2010-09-21 11:31:00 With all the downloads over the last couple of days, Pharmac will be wondering what the hell has suddenly made that PDF so popular all of a sudden, when they do their traffic analysis! :D
