Yes that works but now your not using the best compression by doing that, using the .bat or the MSYS you can set the compression level so the files are smaller then just dropping them on a bzip2.exe. As you can see in my command line I have set -9 (or --best) to use the best compression for bzip2 v.s. drag and drop -1 (or --fast). I'm not sure if SlimeCounty as set it in his .bat or not, but it dose make a big differenced for people who have slower connection speeds even if it's only 5MB.
