[SOLVED] Large index.php file in ~

I guess this is a newbie question. I just noticed that there is a huge php file in my home directory. By huge, I mean 697MB. Anyone have one that large before? Anyone happen to know what it's for? I haven't done anything that I know of that would create it.

Sometimes when I use wget to download a file it will save it as index.php or something similar. It may be an ISO or a large executable renamed. Try:

file <filename>

or

 xxd <filename> | head

That may give you a hint as to what it is.

Why, yes it is. I think it was supposed to be some Linux CD. Thanks!
