And therein lies the problem.  Maximum files size is 25MB, the MP3 was
32MB.  (It was a processed version of a speech for a radio address.
Someone recorded it and wanted me to master it for them.)

I would have no problem with it if it didn't return it, but actually sent a
5.x.x DSN, which is what they -should- be doing.  You -don't- do what
they're doing; that is fucking insane, and their "admins" should be ashamed
to even lay claim to the title.
