Nothing wrong with compressed files hosted on a website or torrent. I don't want another piece of software just to keep one (or even a few) mods up to date. If you give people the option I'm sure most will not want to install another "mod toaster". You're just making work for yourself trying to find or develop a solution to a problem that people don't have.
No offense, I've thought about this issue myself and even contributed code to some early "mod distribution platforms". My experience has been that it was a waste of time.
