I made the filename shorter to make the link shorter.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25812011/recording%20presentation.zip

It appears to me that Drop box may have changed the structure of its
public links and made them longer.  I wonder if other people have had to
change filenames for this reason as well.
