Pointless question, but what is the largest single downloadable file available freely (or not) on the internet? How big is it?

If you remember the convict who let his body be sliced up and scanned for science... well, the biggest file I've ever seen was the java support database for the viewing application. It held all the images for his body to be viewed in multiple ways and was around 4.5Gb. Despite being the biggest I've seen, it was in a day when 0.5Mb was a large download for a normal internet user; these days, that's fairly small with SVCD rips from IRC regularly being 2Gb in size. Take in multi-cd packs from Microsoft's MSDN Universal and you're probably in the region of 5Gb.
