Where 100 MB matters

A 104,857,600-byte file: the request-body limit of Cloudflare's Free and Pro plans, and the size above which GitHub rejects a file outright.

Testing notes for BIN

A file of zeros, as produced by many quick commands, compresses to almost nothing, which makes transfers look far faster than they are.
Because application/octet-stream says nothing about content, strict upload filters reject these files. That is itself a useful test.
