I would like to say to Sauerbraten's creator that i liked to download the game, but it's just too big! But fortunately you could use the .uha format or the .uha extractor to make the game 10 times smaller! (yes I tried with another game). If the creator could do that, i would download it, since it would be about 50 MB!

the archive is already compressed, and it contains lots of compressed data (jpg, ogg etc). You will gain at most 1-2% with even the best compressors.

How is it too big? Even with dial-up this can be downloaded overnight.

UHA functions by using LOSSY image/audio compressors for the most common formats. This is a horrible idea. The exact same gains would be had by manually loading every image in the game in photoshop and lowering the quality settings before saving them.

Yeah, Sauer is too big, but not in the same way for me :D

Some maps are a little big...
But it can be better than Cube !

Sorry, i calculated it wrong. I thought it was 500 MB instead of 50! LOL.
