{Has anyone ever looked at a zip with paths that start with: artistname/itemname/runtime/etc/etc and not muttered idiot as they had to fix it?} And it's information like this that should be shared. How many other people have downloaded that same file and muttered that same thing? One posting to the forum would tell the artist AND anyone else that their is something amiss in the zip file. No need to call anyone names, no need to be accusatory. Think about it from a productivity issue: one person spends 5 minutes fixing a zip file. 10 people download the file and spend 5 minutes (each) fixing the zip file. That's 50 minutes. 100 people download the file and spend 5 minutes fixing the zip file. That's 500 minutes or over 8 hours of people fixing the zip file!! I think the artist can spend an extra 10-15 minutes of their time, making the zip file correctly, to save 8 hours of other people's time.
