It would hardly make it slower, and has a lot of advantages. Maybe we should reconsider allowing multiple files if you have more then one version active.
One other advantage is that you would have some very basic chek if the download was not corrupted. (zip file would fail to open, with txt you will never know).
But the main reason is that most hacks come with more then 1 file (even if only a plugin and a description/instruction text file) and it would be much easier if a member can have them both together instead of in seperate files which could get confusing if you keep a lot of hacks stored somewhere that you have installed.
