well he wants a personal touch to it sort of like the old order by mail things. I do aggree though it would be much easier if he uploaded it all. But I suppose it means he doesn't pay for extra bandwidth, saying that the games if zipped would only be around 10 mb or less. really not much since he has the sapi5.1 stuff up on his site which is at least 50mb. But he probably has his reasons. And to be honest he doesn't put stuff out that often.
