Hi! First of all sorry for my Eng. I?m from Russia.
I just wanted to give you some kind of recommendation:
I downloaded your bonus pack in ZIP format it weight 191mb, then I repacked it using 7zip archiver and now it weight 148 mb.
So maybe you archive you next volume of CBP using this archiver ?
Here is the link to its official site .

I think it would be cool to have it packed with 7Zip but most people only use the mainstream programs like Winzip, Winrar or Winace. And these tools don't support 7Zip afaik. |

Winzip v.9 is out now... i guess it supports a new kind of compression method that is a LOT better (still .zip format), but if you have anything less that WZ8.1 it wont decompress  |

First you can make SFXinstall, and second you can submit this tool near CBP or give a link to it's site. |

7zip self-extractable - 149 MB

save, not safe.
yes indeed, but as they sayed, not everyone got the support to unzip it with that, and might not wanna downlaod something else then what they got, and CBP wants as muhc as posible users. (i think, i cant speak for then) |

sorry for my misspelling - not a native speaker 
but read it again ^^
*self-extractable* - means you got the .exe and it extracts itself...
you need no extra software or whatever.... |

What really would have dropped the file size is if some of the other mappers would kick their lightmap-crack habit. Detailed shadows come at a great cost. |
