Why you dont enable the 7zip arcives?
Thats the most compressable archive available for windows user, it's open source and very often used within other gaming communities.
Example:
some selected Campaign- cfg files:
A_gryphon_Tale: 476.862 Bytes
A_gryphon_Tale.zip (High Compress) 134.321 Bytes
A_gryphon_Tale.7z (High Compress/not Ultra) 59.374 Bytes
Because of the size restictions I think it would be not a bad idea.
PS:
Available for: WIN, WIN64, Linux-x86
Inofficicial: Debian, Fedora, MAC-OS, Beos, Gentoo

Since many users are using linux and Mac OSX, i don't think that 7zip is such a good solution. Especially the people doing most of the uploads are Mac users. Most campaign designers and artists are using mac, some are using linux. There are not too many that do use windows.
I personally am not this sure if 7zip really is such a sane compression algortythm. I think it is enough to use tar.gz or even better tar.bz2. This really is compatible with every platform. These formats are proven to work, at least there were no big bugs found in the last year in these algorythms.
I think 7zip is not compatible enough the become accepted in here.
