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.

    okay so what alternative do you suggest which could be better used in exe formats I feel that unzipping from exe isn’t the best solution to this problem

    (like some exe contain some zip file inside them and extract them)

      Just putting all your stuff in one big .7z so you can unpack it to directory then scan them all w/ AV.
