1. go to the url above.
a. Safari loads the binary as a text file, and never completes (100% processor
usage for at least 15 minutes... no end in sight).

b. You can't cancel with cmd-.  or esc nor by closing the tab.

c. you can't switch to other tabs or open new windows. only choice is force
quit

PS: While it is the server's responsibility to know about mime types,
couldn't Safari be smart and use its own knowledge of file types to show this
as a movie?

PPS: If a  file is large, might it not be a good idea to ask for a confirmation
"are you sure you want to open this as a 25MB text file? That might take a
while.." options YES, Download, Cancel
