Apparently, it's "Epic Proportions".

It's usually in the welcome message on the ftp site before it appears on the
website. I believe someone also posted it on irtc.general a day or two ago.

It shows it if you turn off "enable folder view for FTP" in the internet
settings.
Until you hit F5 then sometimes it decides to stop showing it.

that says or implies something "of unusually great size or magnitude",
perhaps big enough that it inspires the feeling of awe in an observer.
For example: "The (J.Edgar Hoover Dam | France-England Channel Tunnel) was
a public construction project of epic proportions." Then the story teller
may go on to describe the awesomely enormous quantities of concrete / steel
/ manpower / machinery / years / deaths on the job / complexity / etc, taken
to complete it.
"Epic" refers to "epic stories", whether fact or fiction. An "epic story"
(or an "epic" for short) generally means a greater, longer, and often more
historically famous literature work.
Deriving "epic" into movies, the term tends to refer to the greater film
stories (or the most ground breaking) of the 20th Century. In the earlier
days of the film companies MGM, 20th Century Fox, etc, representing a famous
story like Cleopatra, the companies were known for huge and lavish sets,
with thousands of cast members and lavish costumes. So the awesome sets of
the biggest films may be where the term "of epic proportions" originated.
But the term is now general enough, you don't have to be restricted in your
IRTC subject to literature or film stories.
Cheers,
Brian
