I'm very interested in having a text form of human DNA. I understand that were it in document form it would be considerably big. Does anyone know of a site with it available for download?

At 3 billion base pairs the file would be about 3GB; big but manageable.
I do not know where you can get a complete sequence, but you can download the individual genes. The website below will let you view the sequence of any gene you want. Click on a chromosome to start exploring!

It would be way to big for most computers to download and it would be too expensive to be hosted on a site. I don't believe that it is up for download if someone even bothered to type the human dna.

Ewwww good question but if there is I have never heard of it. You are right, to put that in a file would be one massive file. Even if it could be converted into something as simple as binary language it would be massive.
