UPX homepage: the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables

UPX is open source and works on linux , windows and mac (ie. cross platform) I would like to know why the torrenting space isn't using it already / having a mature discussion about it.

    What advantage does it have over existing methods? It’s great that it’s cross-platform, but so are zip files. And the content inside isn’t cross-platform, so I don’t think that ultimately adds anything.

    It states that the more people use and report upx as non antivirus to windows , the better detection rate occurs. This software is open source y'all. Not sure why you all have got your pitchforks
