In fairness I never download any sort of update directly to a production system. I would download it to my workstation and run checks and then transfer it to the system. But then again I am paranoid :D

Thanks Dave, I appreciate that. I’ve zipped hundreds of megabytes – so I don’t think this is going to be an issue.

Generally, live is hard enough – it’s nice if I don’t have to worry about monitoring even more vendors/authors about vulnerabilities, security fixes, version updates etc to a various freeware products.

No justification other than I was working with RAR because it does not have the size limitations of ZIP. Anyways it is now a .zip

*Importance:* High

Hi,

Obviously, I know that I can download third party tools to “unrar” the file – but I REALLY hate nothing more, but than cluttering up production systems with unnecessary shareware/freeware.

Windows has built-in ZIP support (“compressed folders”). Is there any justification to pick a NON compatible format for compression the all-lists.dat file?

If it was compressed using the native Windows format (considering that Declude is a Windows application), the file could be used instantly!

Best Regards,

Andy
