I also download on a seperate machine and zip for archival. The zipping is the easy part. YOU will still need to unzip every AVI file to use it.

Many applications can do this for YOU. ;)
BTW, winrar is one.
Although, like I believe HowardC said it would be a easier if they were in one directory.
papaschtroumpf:
how do the files compress? I know MP3 files basically don;t compress at all, I would expect AVI files to be pretty efficient too.

I wanted to move to [romsite name redacted] because the tracker there is far more reliable. Everyone was having continual problems with the ---No torrents please - thanks!--- tracker. I am yet to have a timeout or unable to connect to tracker with [romsite name redacted], but I would about 80% of the time with ---No torrents please - thanks!---.
I tried to resist the zipping but the mods are fairly strict and continually asked me how I would set the torrent up before giving upload access. I guess you have been around there for a while circo so they just let you do what you need to do.
To get all these to work you need to extract each of the files to a single directory anyway, so instead of highlighting the files and dragging and dropping to a directory, highlight right click drag and drop - extract here. It's a little bit more time, but it's more than worth it for a good tracker.
1504 files compressed from 1.90GB to 1.80GB

It's embarrassing to admit but I wasn't aware that WinRar would unzip all the files withing a group of selected folders. Not a problem any more.
