Well that's why there is no need to run the file. This is only done to provide a fast link to check your machine. Lucas has a fat pipe so it works well and it's very consistent for testing. Everyone should see 600KB on the speed while downloading and this will confirm that they are getting their money's worth since we are all paying $44.95 for 5MB service. Remember 600x8=4800, so if you see 600 then you know that RR is delivering for the money spent. It's always good to know that you are getting what you pay for!

Sorry - I thought you wanted people to click on the attached file.
So the file would be a bit safer named, say, zzz, so if you clicked on it by
mistake, Windoze wouldn't try to execute it.
