It's possible, particularly if it was gunzipping at the
same time (i.e. tar -zx).

Yes. Phoenix.

Around 20mb.

IIRC, Netscape 3.04 is around half that (and it includes
mail, which Phoenix doesn't). Netscape 3.04 is probably
the best browser for BL3, but it is very slow on complex
web pages (eg nested tables) and it has some problems with
javascript.
