If you just want to keep files together, just right click, zip, and be done with it. I guess. Is maximum technology really needed for SE4 mods and Image packs?

FQM lost a good 4-5 MBs of file size when I converted it to RAR instead of WinRar-made ZIPs. Adamant lost a bit more. Please tell me that the bandwidth savings of this, plus the image mod files all in RAR, over hundreds of downloads per month, are not worth it for a web host such as myself.
Plus everything SuicideJunkie said.
Note that there are newer formats out there that give marginally better compression than RAR format. They are just rather obtuse...

I'd prefer not to get a self-extracting exe, I do worry about how insecure it might be.

You can always right click on the file and select "Open With Winrar" to bypass the EXE nature of the file. These sorts of security concerns are part of what prompted the poll in the firt place.
