          you should not zip them, not everyone knows or have zip extractors. Why not considering providing both zipped and no-zipped? Its better.

                  i'm worry about the disconnection of member & the hardisk file crc error
                  is it a big problem, or very less posibility problem ?
                  should i just go for the big files ?

                                  Self Extractor should solve it
                                  The file is too big for zip and no-zip format

                                      People are used to wmv, mpg and avi and a self extractor may still not work on some systems. Bandwidth is way too cheap to care for an additional 100mb+/- and I'd bet that even with selfextracting files you'd have to waste alot of time on additional member support requests.

                                          so did anyone zip their big movie files ?
                                          even it is at least 700MB above

                                          and why rapidshare limit the file size to 100mb and allow zip too ?
