    One little detail - it would be nice to see the wallpapers before downloading a file.
    Else, nice idea.

    Edit:
    .7z - what's that? 7-zip?
    Heard of it, never tried it, standard .zip would be better...

    Ya, its 7-zip but any archive software should open it like WinRAR or 7-Zip (obviously). .zip might be better for some people though.

    You (OP) could create a self extracting file using 7-zip that doesn't require any additional software. Just a thought.

    Put it that way.
    I don't doubt its qualities.

    I don't like it for another reason - there is no reason to have software apart from the built in Windows zipping ability.

    I don't have WinRar installed on my (main) laptop either - I try to keep it "clean".

    7-zip may be 500 times better than the Windows utility for unzipping, as long as I can avoid it I will.

    And I think many people will feel the same - unless they regularly need compression software they'd rather avoid installing extra software.
