RE: Ev0 - Windows Live Messenger Evolved
yeah that's what i have continually done for every installer that I have ever made, I even have special tools that were coded for me by a very special person (TheSteve) for just that job, but I'm talking 30 MB even with the optimization.

Moreover, there are 2 base formats, the white and the black, both do not share anything similar.

if you can save the images with Hue/Sat/Lum bit mapping it'd probably compress better, but i don't know any image formats that support that...

Do Both, make A and B.

People who can download larger files / aren't online all the time can get B. People who just one to use one of the 16 skins or can't download large files can use A.

RE: Ev0 - Windows Live Messenger Evolved
not a bad idea chestah, I think i might be saved, after a LOT of searching and testing, I might have come up with a feasible solution. Think Option A but with mirroring. So the files are downloaded with the help of mirrors. I just need people to mirror stuff for me and an oath that they won't move the location of the files as they will be hardcoded into the installer itself.

why not grab mirrors.txt from a trusted server?

I wanna host too :(

Well, I can host if you want.

Storage is definetly not a problem, and with 1 TB bandwidth isn't either. :)

mirror.nitrolinken.net

I just need to make the sub-first :P

O.P. RE: Ev0 - Windows Live Messenger Evolved
We will need 10 mirrors so yeh, we prefer it if the bandwidth isnt an issue. Since this thing will probably require a re-release when 8.1 is finished.

Also on a side note, people that either ipab or myself already know will get first dibs on becoming a mirror :P
