If it was 100Mb -- I'd download your file in about 5 mins -- I spent an hour trying to get 7z and I still dont have it.

Would you mind giving us the option by doing a Rar or a Zip ?
The problem is that it's more a question of how many 100MB files my web hosting service will allow to be downloaded. These mods are very popular indeed, so it can be a big problem if I don't compress the files adequately, and Zip and Rar just don't achieve enough compression. A couple of months ago I uploaded a 45MB file and my data transfer limit (200GB) was exceeded in about 10 days. That's why I have to offer it in the best compression format possible, otherwise the files won't be available at all for most of each month, which would undoubtedly be annoying for most people. I already pay $40 per month to offer these mods, and for that I get the most data transfer that Yahoo offers. most web hosting services just aren't set up to allow the huge downloads that are necessary for today's mods.

Anyway, I just checked the link at my site. Went to a few of the mirrors for the 4.23 version, and the file was right there every time, so I'm not sure which mirror you're using.
