The amount of data transferring has nothing to do with the speed of the connection. You can transfer 10TB through 56k if you have the patience!

It is not stupid at all, there is plenty of reasons to have a large file.
If you think that is stupid, what do you think about this one: http://repos.lax-noc.com/speedtests/100tb.binSteven Ciaburri | Industry's Best Server Management - Rack911.com

Well, if that is what you meant still doesn't make much sense, and the file you linked to was 2000MB (megabytes).
If you have a GigE port or more you might need a large file to determine the real transfer speed to see if it gets capped out or takes some time to level out. Even then, once it is determined you can just cancel the transfer whenever you got the info you need anyway. The 100MB test files everyone seems to have now are basically useless to me anymore.Karl Zimmerman - Founder & CEO of Steadfast

This has got to be one of the silliest questions I've ever seen on here
