Get a sourceforge nym and mail me it and I will give you write access. Or simply send me a patch via mail (diff -u, preferably).

ZIP has the advantage that a) the codec is very fast, and b) it compresses files before archiving, so we don't need to decompress the whole archive first. tar.bz2 would be possible if we had a) a suitable *java* library, and b) caching of decompressed data. > > > > As for the fear of the activelinks forcing 1 MB downloads: If you are > > > a freesite author: Don't put your activelink in a 1 MB container; and > > > don't place other freesite's activelinks on your site that do such.
