Yes, the thread has been a total waste of my time, a simple and clear yes/no answer from a moderator was what I hoped for rather than what happened.

That's only 12 GiB and given W11 specifies a 64 GiB/GB system disk feel it's quite low. Getting 2 x 1TB SSDs for a 1TB mirror won't cost that much and I for one will happily chip in.
Over the past two years I must have uploaded new SIV Beta versions of .ZIP files hundreds of times and had I left them all there the 12 GiB would be noticeably higher, but I just replace existing files. I also delete SIV test versions when I upload a the Beta that supersedes them. Below confirms there is only one instance of each file.
While checking I spotted some other largeish attachments which are drivers other members needed. Notice how I needed to rename the .z01, etc to .z01.zip and feel it would be good if .z01 + .z02 + .z03 + .z04 were allowed, epically so if I have to resort to multi-files zips for SIV.
I feel I have done all that I could to minimise the number of around 5.00 MiB attachments and still feel my request for a 5.50 MiB attachment limit is more than reasonable.
I suspect the real reason the moderators are reluctant to increase it that some members are less rigorous when it comes to deleting large obsolete attachments.
