Well, either way that's a *lot* of downloading... something like 2-10MB per
file, and I'm guessing several thousand files.  Then a *lot* of reducing.  And a
*lot* of stitching.  Not that I'd be entirely against doing it, but I'd like to
do this project sometime soon, rather than in the next 2-3 years. ;)

Thanks for the correction in my process, though.
