Warning to my fellow chumps: that is a direct link to the gzip bomb. Clicking on it causes a download, which results in Windows Defender promptly losing its mind as it tries to decompress the whole thing looking for viruses. (win 8.1)
Interestingly enough, it's not using up any memory, but it is hitting the disk at 55MB/s, so I'm guessing it's decompressing it to disk, and will eventually crash when it fills up my hard drive.
EDIT: It gave up after fifteen minutes. That's nice, now I don't have to reboot. There was about 2 gigabytes of stuff in my temp folder when I ran disk cleanup, don't know how much of that was gzip bomb output.
