ZIP/RAR Your maps!

Compression generally works very well on maps -- For example, a 13-14MB one can turn into 1-2MB even in a ZIP with normal compression, with minimal compression time. So for any uploaded maps, at least take the few seconds to do that to save people awhile of download time.

I remember people saying ''OMG zip/rar file''. But that was usually because they had no idea what they were.
