Client side with Shell.Application object ; uses Windows OS integrated zip routines ; UTF file naming and UNC support is solid; good UI feedback for end user .

On server side zip from info-zip OSS project.

I like that idea. I use Chilkat for lots of other stuff.
Thanks, everyone, for so many responses.

I like that idea.

Chilkat supports asynchronus zipping, heavy encryption and other good stuff, and it's very fast.
