Download problem
I tried to install this test (#28 on the interactive list), and downloading of cycles_benchmark_20160228.zip was impossible. The first 200MB arrived in seconds, then it took over an hour to reach 425MB, where it finally stalled. This behaviour is repeatable; I have checked my broadband speed at 100Mbps.
