To apply the '8 second rule' to *every* page on the web is patently absurd. You seem to be suggesting that no content that can't be delivered in 8 seconds should be published. I think you'll find that rule is intended for home pages, and applies to visitors' notoriously short attention spans. I would imagine that someone who wanted to view such a huge file (and had been told the size on the referring page) badly enough would wait for the download, even on dialup.
