True for now but the size of abandoned games will rapidly increase and changing to a better compression format(not
necessarily 7zip) sooner rather than later mite be a good idea.

This is better than longer download times.

For a trial period the selected games should
only be in the 7zip format and the right utilities will be available on the site, this will force people to use the 7zip format and if we get to many questions and to many people have trouble with it then the 7zip files will be removed and the zip files put in there place.
