Now this is sad ,but true and all too funny.
[note things will get trimmed]

I zipped up my Mod just a few minutes ago to see a projected size of my mod, with dcc's and everything i was figuring about 10 megs this moment and a projected 40 megs by the end of my mod where it's released, well
here the funny part it's 60Megs and I'm not more then 25% done with my plans.

59.7Megs Worth of mod who wants to play? Lol!

Have you done any ratio comparison to winzip or winrar? From what I have heard, and heard is the key word, the built in compression doesn't work all that well. I am curious as to the rate compared with the others.
