a compresion plea from a dialup user

[thelusiv]

Our growing release sizes is exactly the reason why we decided to release both full and minimal packages this time. The minimal packages are still 30 or 40 megabytes but this is improved over the size of our last version. This only includes 3 or 4 smaller cars and our 2 smallest tracks.

There is some space we could get back if we generated all our medium and small sized textures on the fly, instead of having large medium and small size prerendered textures. Otherwise about the only thing we can do is remove more cars and tracks. We could do a minimal release as only 1 car and 1 track but that would kind of suck. Even if we did all that I don't think the file would be under 15 MB, so it is still going to take forever to download on dialup.

As for bittorrent, I don't really know how to set that up nor do I have time nor see any great need (SF.net does a great job). However if someone wants to explain to me how to seed/set things up/tell me how to get the server to seed the torrent, I will be happy to do it.
