Web pages have huge file size, what's the upper limit on the web?

When speaking large file sizes, I'm talking upward 50gb or more each. The reason is that these pages contain sound files (in swf) that need to be of high quality (as opposed to just good enough).

I already took care of reducing the sound files sizes by converting them to mp3s of less than 1gb each outside of flash. It's flash, that for who who knows why, pumps up the files to nearly 40gb each, and some pages have two of them each, resulting of pages closing on 100gb each, that's all why youtube gets away with it at a fraction of size.

I didn't use adobe flash's inbuilt audio compression techniques due to their reducing sound quality significantly, instead of opting to keep the files original mp3 compression.

The rest of the swf contain just a couple lightweight pngs, and a small amount of as3.

What is it with adobe flash that decides to inflate audio files so much, you'd hope an old vendor would be better at optimizing.

Anyone knows how to get around it? The sound files must retain their current audio quality. Again, they weigh less than 700kb each before swf conversion.
