We should probably use upx to package executable in torrenting space (Discussion) - eviltoast

UPX is open source and works on linux , windows and mac (ie. cross platform) I would like to know why the torrenting space isn’t using it already / having a mature discussion about it.

    well then you could still extract it using upx , (basically if I remember correctly , you use upx on one exe file to generate another (I think this is the intended use case of what I am suggesting) & then use antivirus on that. according to their website you can list, test and unpack your executables. Also, a checksum of both the compressed and uncompressed file is maintained internally.
