If you haven't installed any 3rdparty compression utility (winzip, 7zip...)
and you are using the window's compressed folders functionality, this is
_normal_, windows compressed folders should be used only for very small zip
packages. Either install a 3rdparty software (I suggest 7zip that is all
free software) or use a real Operative System (i.e. Linux or *BSD).
