We are aware of this. Right now only .zip containers are supported,
however tar.gz containers (big boost to html) will be supported soon,
and some time after that we will support tar.bz2 and tar.7z. (Well maybe
not actually 7z; we may use the same algorithms but not bother with 7z
file headers which are designed for zip-type usage i.e.
compress-then-pack as opposed to tar-type usage which gets better
compression - pack-then-compress).
