It's a small thing, and may be just a red herring, but I'd be curious whether there's a difference in reported size for with and without a trailing slash; since he explicitly gave it with a slash, and the * would've given it without (as seen above), it might be interesting to see if there are different results between those two. - -- Micah J.
