RAR would have been easier.  It seems to be better supported on the Mac, 
at least in OS X.

Well, I don't know how unzip works on Linux, just know that on the Mac 
that when you navigate to the directory and type unzip and the filename 
that it unzips nice and fast.  But I get this error:

[PB500:Core_v1_n3.pdf Zipped] greg% unzip Core_v1_n3.pdf
Archive:  Core_v1_n3.pdf.zip
warning [Core_v1_n3.pdf.zip]:  zipfile claims to be last disk of a

file #0:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  4

I don't know if you can concatenate a zip archive split this way.  This 
is only the second time I've run across a zip file in this format.  
Previous one I ended up getting as a single PDF file later on.

Thanks...

Naturally if everyone waits, they'll all wait the same amount of time 
and all try to download it at once.  ;-)
