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.

RE: Ev0 - Windows Live Messenger Evolved
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...

RE: Ev0 - Windows Live Messenger Evolved
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.

RE: Ev0 - Windows Live Messenger Evolved
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  |

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
