Zip Library

Unarchiving zip files is not something that is easily done. Zip supports a wide variety of algorithms and it's pretty complicated. Plus if users implemented it themselves in lua, it'd be very slow. I think we need a zip library that's based on Java's zip library for things that can't be so easily done through complex pastebin downloads. For example, JVML-JIT will need to distribute .class files, which can't be uploaded to pastebin. It'd be best if we could just upload a jar file to github releases and use a zip library to use jars in the classpath.

you don't have to use pastebin you know, i use my dropbox for programming in notepad++

DropBox and the like wouldn't be any good for ZIP. Files downloaded via the http API get mangled if they use any non-basic-ASCII characters.

You'd want to set up a PHP server which can translate files in base64 or something. And if you're going to do that, why not have the PHP server handle decompression while it's at it?
