We should probably use upx to package executable in torrenting space (Discussion) (upx.github.io)

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.

Traditional file compression doesn't work that well as compared to upx. Upx supports as much as 500 mb/s on any reasonable device (this is very comparable to https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs) , which is honestly insane.
