Listing the time to download would be better because the download speed 
(limited by the host) is only 36KB and dial-up is still faster than that.
It took over 4 minutes download a 7.1 Megabyte file!  On my FIOS (20 MB 
down and 5 MB up) it should taken a few seconds, if that.

Besides, this file should be 1/10 (or smaller) in size if you convert 
the text of the page to true text and not an image.  Stuff that I've 
converted like this is so much smaller and can be edited in in a text 
editor.

Take a look at Tim Lindner's work and find someone that has done it right!
