UPLOADING

Another page of dumb questions, I'm on a roll tonight! Anyway, when it comes to VX Ace which is better, uploading a zip or uploading the blue cube exec. thingy? I ask because there have been debates saying the exe file is the wrong thing to use & that a zip is ideal. Is that true?

Oh, when I try to download either the blue cube or the zip version it says "connecting" and keeps that way seemingly forever. Am I missing something?
