Attachment types / limits?

I just tried to upload an update of Ian's spreadsheet.  I had to zip it because of size.  The zip is ~2.8M.  Something didn't work.   Is there a restriction of file types?  The attachment function say that there is a limit of 5M.

If you mean are there limits to upload here at KF, yes, but more to the point there is a limited amount of space on the site's server.  We've been reminding people for years that uploading attachments like photos which could instead be linked from their web locations eats up space, but it's not *prohibited*.  Joe, who built and owns this forum and who owns the server space where it resides, is not an active participant at KF right now, so when the server space fills up it may take a while to clean up the space.  

If you could possibly put the sheet somewhere else (Google docs perhaps) and post a link here instead, that would be far preferable.  
EDIT: I now see you have done exactly that in the Late Loaning Lenders thread, so... thanks!
