I just downloaded boost-1.32.0 and started to unzip it with the built-in facilities in Windows XP; the OS reported it was going to take 50 minutes and it was *crawling*. Using cygwin's unzip tool it was done in under a minute.
I'm thinking we should stop distributing raw .zip files without an extractor...
Hmm, I have never tried it. I always use Info-Zip's unzip or the built-in unzipper in some file manager.
That's what I mean. I used the built-in unzipper in the Win XP file manager. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
