Just to add to what Blackhorse 70V has said, zip files are usually viruses or some other form of malware, that is why most people (mainly PC users) avoid them. Because you are a MAC user you are largely immune, unless you are unfortunate enough to run into malware specially crafted for MACs.

So what both Blackhorse 70V and I are advising is that you stay away from any form of compressed files on the gnutella network.
