Enough of this already. If you want to talk about which packer is better, then move this thread to 3xblah.
Ozzie, no hard feelings, you were not wrong to bring this up. You are right to say that some matters should be discussed again after some time. What you couldn't know is that this is not one of those matters. And there are always people who are capable of using the computer that agree with this, and then discussion starts.
Our main problem are users that don't know much about computers, they simply wanna play games. They are also majority of visitors. Yes, this means that EVERYTHING will be as simple as possible. I'm not even gonna discuss good or bad sides of ZIP, RAR, 7ZIP etc.
Site currently supports only ZIP, but even if the situation is different we are sticking with it as long as it is the EASIEST and the SIMPLEST solution. This criteria will be used for other things that are offered to users as well. Thanks for friendly suggestion, unfortunately after all this time of offering and helping the visitors to play old games, you learn well that even the slightest increase in complexity will result with tons of questions and threads from lot of unhappy visitors. Nobody wants that. And we don't have problems with disc-space.
Titan's words are the final conclusion.

Last, The servers we have for the files, have no limitation on transfer, nor are we running out of disc-space any time soon.
