I agree 100%. Please, have pity on those of us with a slow(-ish) connection. If your file is 35-40 MB or more, consider breaking it up into separate parts, with each part as a separate "model" on ShareCG. You'll make a lot of people happy and save bandwidth on ShareCG, to boot. (How much bandwidth does it take to try to re-download the same file half a dozen times?)


Oh, and please consider using either WinRAR or (even better) 7zip to compress large files. These work much better than .ZIP.


On files 5 MB or less it typically saves about 1 MB, maybe 2. But on large files the savings are usually significant. With a 50 MB .ZIP file, I'm not surprised when I re-compress it with .7zip down to about 40 MB, a savings of 10 MB. And in some cases, with 7zip I can compress it down to almost half the size of the same thing in .ZIP! (BTW: WinRAR may cost money, but 7zip is free.)
