The .7zip contains the proper .ftl file. So yes, you have to extract the .7zip, not rename it.

Even so, mediafire would need to accept such upload speeds from a free account, which, of course, it doesn't. So, think more about half and hour, than 20 seconds.
Anyway, the task of uploading file for consumption belongs to mod maintainer, and he was asked repeatedly by various people - including myself - for allowing to download from other sources than ModDB. All those requests were not denied per se - even worse, they were totally ignored (including my case, where ModDB wasn't willing to let me download file at all, due to too SLOW download rate - 56kbps at the time, when I made that request). Unless sanmoku does the upload to other sources himself - or explicitly ask to do so in his stead - it would be unkind to bypass him.
Not to mention, that you got various solutions to your problem already - again, including quite detailed answer by myself, on the last page. You're just too lazy to use any of them - wanting others to waste 30 minutes of uploading, as opposed to 5 minutes of applying tips from posts on your side. Do the math yourself - and, given the above- for your question, what's about "no"?

Estel wrote:Good catch. Haven't noticed it and - probably - never would But indeed, it's present there. Maybe this talented guy from "Replacement for various things" thread would be able to come up with something? I don't think sanmoku will contribute more to FTL in foreseeable future.
