Is there even a normal zip of the new cgminer on here? I feel like throwing my computer through the wall every time I come here, for the new update.
Use 7-zip - it's free and you won't be breaking the winzip license like almost everyone does with winzip ...
http://www.7-zip.org/windows has had .zip support built in for ages. no need to use .7z.

Who the heck uses Winzip anymore?!?!? Supporters of bloatware I guess.
The .zip implementation in Windoze doesn't do .7z format. 7Zip is a great archiver/compression utility and is cross platform. I would highly recommend it.

Don't get me wrong. I like 7zip's compression as much as any other geek. (I also think the UI has lots of room for improvement, which is irrelevant here.)
But above all, not everyone is a techie. We're not talking much size difference put making a windows compatible .zip vs a .7z file. You can even use 7zip to make it if you want. Using windows .zip makes it more accessible to others.

I'm well aware and that's why I used to compress it with zip, but with bitstreams on fpgas making the archive so goddman large, it is an inconvenience and it does use up bandwidth when I'm not on a fast wire to the server itself. The 7z archive is about 1/3 the size of the zip.
