1. [off-toppic] is there a free software to extract RAR archives on
Windows. I've only found WinRAR which is a shareware.

Good question, I don't know. I just keep using WinRAR, all it does is nag
you about registering. I like it because it works with so many archive
formats. If people would prefer zip or even gzip/tar, it doesn't matter to
me.

We should priviledge a free program with a maximal compression rate for
people with a slow internet connection. How does RAR compare to bzip2?

FYI: The free nullsoft installer I mentioned recently offers bz2 compression.

- to write a script that just askes for a destination directory and copies the files there is very simple

- you right-click on the script and choose the compression out of zlib, bzip2, lzma, or, "best compressor". This generates your .exe installer file.
