It's always annoying to unzip the Setup.exe from the zip download, and looking at the filesizes the "compressed" file is actually even a bit bigger:
1'759'253'419 bytes Setup.exe
1'759'253'666 bytes ableton_suite_822_with_content.zip
So I guess lots of time and CPU cycles could be saved all over the world by skipping the pointless zip?
Why are the downloads still zipped?
Re: Why are the downloads still zipped?
I guess, backward compatibility with some picky browsers that refuse or give a lot of trouble to download executable files.
