I use WinZip exclusively because I prefer the people who play my mod to have at least a general understanding of computers and the internet before they do something technical like installing a fan-made modification.
You would not believe the number of emails I got asking what do they do with the file after they download it.
No offense to anyone, but if you download a file from the internet, you should at least know how to utilize that file beforehand. This cuts down on the number of headaches I get and the number of emails I dont want, and frees up room for the emails I do want.
