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...
IIRC I had the same problem, but was able to get it to unzip in a reasonable amount of time by using the right-click context-menu from the Windows Explorer Folder View. I don't have my XP based laptop here at the office. I'll see if I can reproduce the method this eveneing. Jeff
