well Wp is released in .zip and .tar.gz compression and the main purpose is to only have to ftp the the single script that will then order the .zip/.tar.gz to you server. and then expand it for you. I think above all else it save so much time.

Well, what about extracting a basic .tar file? Yes it lacks compression, but it can be accomplished on any setup.

Right, they talked about that. there are two different way to unzip though; via server OS or via PHP functions. this is just a auto download. it merely places the files. here look at it

Such auto-download/install scripts don't usually work on all (most?) server

where the script is running.

Basically what I am suggesting is that this be offered as a alt to
downloading lasest.zip and unarchiving then uploading. I found an
example script( i actually took the section above from the example) that worked flawlessly. it is open source so I do believe we could modify it
to work with WP

Think about it: WP installed in under three minutes.
