This thread is officially dumb. One guy miscalculates 75 Mbit as ~75 MiB, another guy fills ~70 MiB file with ASCII "1"s.

Hehe, I didn't mean to sound negative! Agree with the other poster that it's quite fun.

Oh, and I also forgot to mention that the guy used `tar` for compressing one file. I'll see myself out.

I'm glad I started this stupid thread, and this is my favorite comment in it.
