Hmm post me a copy of your exe? I'd like to run a test myself.

Method 1: freshly compiled EXE -> UPX at best setting -> RAR/ZIP at best setting

Method 2: freshly compiled EXE -> RAR/ZIP at best setting


One of the key factors to making the exe smaller is download size. With computers of 60-400 GB drives 2 megs is hardly worth worrying about when it's sitting on your drive. However you still have to bring it through your internet connection such size flexibility isn't there yet. Esp. in some places where they don't have the kind of great broadband services that they have here and other places.

Of course you can always leave it uncompressed and use the worst zip/rar compression possible. Then they'll think that by sheer size they are getting great value for their dollar. :lol:
