New Mod Manager ( With New Features )

[DBoy1612]

There is a new mod manager out.

Freelancer Mod Manager 1.4 Beta 4
http://home.comcast.net/~igx89/FLMMInsta..._beta4.exe

And there are many new features in the manager, including, 7z format support.

7z is one of the best compressing formats there is. It would better to use 7z on the mod file instead of ZIP. Because I know there is quite a few user on Discovery who are still on dial up connections.

I did a test to see the size difference between ZIP and 7z on the latest mod files, results are:

ZIP Size: 31,748 kb ( 31.7mb )

7z Size: 23,104 kb ( 23.1mb )

That is a huge difference, and this would be very helpful for everyone on dial up and people with slow DSL *cough* Me *cough*. Also would save lots of bandwidth for the site.

The program I used to do this test was PowerArchiver.

Not a free program, but if you want a free one you can use 7-zip.

So anyway there is my little idea trying to help make Discovery better. What do you think?
