Best I can tell, the players.dat file no longer contains all the ratings. They seem to be housed in the players directory.

I initially zipped only the .dat files and messages, but the owners couldn't see the player ratings. I then added the players directory and they can see them, but that's an html file for every player, increasing the zip size by 10Megs.

Smallest I've got an initial league file for 4 leagues is around 13 Megs.

I'm hoping fidel or Markus give me some good news, because file sizes that large will be the death blow to dial up users in an online league environment.
Really no need for the files to have to be that large.
