I've never seen this ZIP file, OTOH I had a deeper look into the "new"
Testsuite, and considering that 99% of the movies got encoded back in
2004, let me guess that the "new" Testsuite just recycles the content
of this ZIP ?

COOL (yesterday it was dead) ... BTW, I'd prefer a TAR or a bunch of
TAR's (per < 2 GiB) from 1'000'000's of single frames to download.

OK.

Where ?
