I don't think it should be used for internet downloads, but prehaps we should use thier compression algorithm in the ReactOS installer? That would decrease file size by quite a bit and not require some wierd software on the user's machine.

With the recent discussion about 7-zip I decided to check it out. I took my project's working directory at work, which is 8.3 megs of source and object code, and compressed it. Winzip on max compression got it down to 2.5 megs. WinRar on max compression got it down to 2.1 megs. 7-zip got it down to 517k!
I nearly shat myself.
I don't know how it does it, but this thing is incredible. I think it definitely needs further investigation and possible use.
